Hello all,

     I have several domains, each at their own location, on their own
box.  I'm consolidating all of them to the same box.  I won't be able
to switch all of the users in each domain at the same time because of
the fact that we will also be changing a lot of other stuff (dialin
numbers, etc).


     The only solution that I can think of so that nobody loses mail
is to have the MX record point to the old box.  And as we move each
user to the new box, have some way of forwarding that user's mail to
the new box.  Then when all users for that domain have been moved,
change the MX record to point to the new box.


     The users will not have user accounts on the new box.  It will be
a full virtual system.


     The only thing I haven't figured out, is how to forward each
individual's mail from the old box to the new one (the old and new box
will be the same domain).


     If anyone has done this, or knows how to do this, I would really
appreciate some input.


     TIA
