In the past, I have set up a second machine to forward mail temporarily until MX changes get propagated. This can be simply changing the setup on the old machine to forward everything to the new one. When the old one stops forwarding, you can take it out. Of course, I did this two years ago and the occasional message still comes through on the old machine (which now does other things) because someone is using the full machine name in the address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). -cpc- ----- Casimir Couvillion - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.tgsnopec.no/ TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company ----- Houston, Texas, USA ----- 713/860-2126 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Dustin Krysak Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 5:17 PM To: Imail List Subject: [IMail Forum] Sorta OT: Best way to move mail server - and not loose mail during the DNS update Sorry for the somewhat off topic... I was curious what other people do when they need to change the IP, or hostname, etc in the DNS, and what precautions they do to ensure that people do not loose mail/ service. I would prefer scenarios where you only have 1 MX record.... The company that I will be doing this for, has a web based DNS, and does not have access to the TTL settings for the domain. Thanks.
