I don't think you can do this with at least a small amount of down time for the new domain, but... In order to forward mail to the new server from the old ( I think that's what you're asking) without removing the domain from your old server you can comment out the migrated domain in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains, and put a route to it in /var/qmail/control/smtproutes and restart qmail or reload qmail. Please investigate to your satisfaction first. I tried this once on my server and it worked. Of course the domain must be created with all the users on the new server in order for it to receive mail and for your IMAP (or POP) clients to work. In order to sync the two hosts you can use unison, rysnc, or scp. I've used all three. I use unison mostly, and here's a link to it, which setup can be tailored for replication of only one domain (http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/QMT_Failover_replication_Setup). How big is this domain? Eric
