If you are asking, if you can use the qmail machine to receive the
mail for a domain, but then have it sent the email off to the old
sendmail machine. Yes you can do that.
Look up the qmail control file smtproutes. That will route
incoming smtp mail to the other machine.
If you are wondering how to deliver locally generated email,
via a sendmail script or qmail-inject running on the qmail
machine. Then you can do that too. Remove the domain name
from all qmail control files. Make sure to send qmail-send
a HUP signal each time you modify the control files.
If you want vpopmail to still work on the new machine, while you
are working on it. Don't remove the domain from the assign file.
The vpopmail library uses the assign/cdb file.
