I did not do the MX record ahead of time as was suggested. But rather I did the switch in the wee hours of the morning at the same time I migrated the mail server. Anything servers that were attempting to deliver to the old server because they didn't have the new MX record kept retrying until they got the updated record.That's all well and good if your TTL is less than the remote servers' queue lifetime, but that cannot be expected to be the case. I'm sure you had no probs, but that's not a best practice.--Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/download/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/Release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
