Hi, If I understand the docs etc. I have to use the following in 'custdomains/domain.tld.tab' on the new server: smtprelay<tab>ip.old.server Can I leave the defaults for -Qt, -Qi and -Qr? I think so because the old server isn't down (yet)...

Setup new.domain.tld as backup mail exchanger for domain.tld (it = means: setup the xmail using custdomains). 2. Setup DNS to have old.domain.tld as primary MX (as already is) and new.domain.tld as secondary MX. 3. Wait some time, determined by refresh parameters of domain.tld. 4. Stop old.domain.tld and let it stopped forever. 5. Migrate all users and mailboxes to new server. It can be done by = simply moving the config files and mailboxes, but if moving between NT and UN*X = you need to change line ends accordingly. Don't forget to remove custdomains from new.domain.tld. 6. Remove MX entry for old.domain.tld. In the scenario above, no mail would be lost. **** P.
