As part of the setup of the new machine, I temporarily add an acl
statement allowing relay from the old machines. When the new machine is
up and running, I bring down the old machines, and add a new smarthost
router via the new machine, then kick off a queue run. All the messages
form the old machine goes to the new machine without possibility of
collision. The downside of this approach is that it does not preserve
queue aging information, but that seems like a small price to pay for
the benefit of not having to worry about collisions or other minor
nitpicks.
