I don't know anything about CCmail...how does it "pull its mail down"?
Does it use SMTP and ETRN, POP, IMAP, or something else?

First, install a basic qmail a la LWQ.
When that's done, you can configure it as a relay.
If you remain calm, you should be able to do this in a couple
days. (Some people could it in a couple hours without prior qmail
experience.)
Tell us something about your set-up. You have your own domain? And
your current-soon-to-be-ex-ISP has an MX record for that domain? Have
you made plans to have your new ISP take over the domain's name
service and set up an MX record pointing to the qmail box? The qmail
box *will* be the public mail exchanger, right? And it'll hold all
messages for CCmail to pick up? How will outgoing mail from CCmail be
handled? Will it be routed through the qmail box also?
