I genrally have ifconfiged the machine off the network,
switched, and reconnected. Unless you are talking about a _ver_
heavily uised MTA, being off line for a few minutes does not create a
perceptible effect (since MTA's retry messages anyway -- often for
upto 4 days, so a few minutes while installing a new one are not
significant in most cases)

Is it really your contention that all MTA's should provide for
this configurability, and cooperate with all other MTA packages out
of the box? I am afraid that all this handshaking is going to entail
a lot of effort, and the resultant gains seem fairly minimal (
