I plant to move a single domain to a new Imail server. I want the transition
to be seamless for all my users (over 2000). The username doesn't contain
"@domain.com"

In the old system an email address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" would have a username
of "andrew" and would connect to "mail.cshore.com" for their incoming mail.
Outgoing mail is handle by IMGate. Which ROCKS !!!!

I have experimented with the following, which works. Just want to make
certain I'm not missing anything.

Setup Imail on a new box with an official hostname of "cshore.com". The
actual hostname is "mail.cshore.com" in DNS. In appears that users have a
reply address of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" BUT can log in with "username" only.
I'm not running IIS on the box so I have changed the port for webmail to
"80". So users can check their mail http://mail.cshore.com  and just type in
their username, without the "@domain.com"

I will only run a single domain on this box. I'm just double checking so the
move goes without any problems. Does anyone see any potential problems ?
