I dont know what os you run, but if you had the possibility of a virtual IP
address(and an IP address to spare) this might work nicely.
As for mailbox files and other stuff. I think when you compile exim, to
make nessacary changes in the ./Local/Makefile, make sure exim use the same
spool directory. I dont think it'd be a problem but it might be neater to
keep them seperate. As for the Mailbox file I dont think sendmail would
lock it unless it had something to deliver. If everything is being
delivered properly to their respective MTA's then I think it be safe...
ownership may be an issue have exim use the same user/group that sendmail
does (mail/mail)
That's all I can think of, but I'm sure others may have more ideas.
Cheers,
Ariel

Subject: [Exim] Exim and Sendmail
Hello,
I'm trying to make a smooth switch from sendmail to exim.
My concern is that I don't want to switch all my users at the same time.
I'm afraid of something going wrong and I want some of them to have
tested everything is OK before I switch the others.
In that purpose, may I safely run both systems on different ports ?
Does each of them manage compatible locking mechanisms to prevent
incoming mail jam in the mailbox files ?
Do I have any care to take when configuring systems ?
Thanks for any help
Jacques
