[vox-tech] Change mail host, lose e-mails?

[Rod Roark]

Well you could retain the old service for a month or so, to
give people a chance to dispose of whatever's there.

Of course, after the DNS switchover they won't be able to=20
get to it using the domain name, but they can configure=20
their mail clients to get mail from both places, addressing=20
the old mail server via its IP address.  You'll have to=20
give them very clear instructions for doing that.

Fetchmail might be another option, but I have no experience
with it.
