Yes. You have to set up the accounts first. > 2.

What about mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] @DN should be fine as long as the records in your name server point to the new machine. As far as the flip of a switch, it's almost that easy. Set up the old machine as a virtual host in sendmail routing the mail to the appropriate persons. When your ready just change the MX records for the old machine to point to the new machine. It will accept and process them. You may be able to use aliasing in sendmail (or whatever) instead of a virtual host but I've never tried that. I hope I didn't leave anything out, it's been a while since I've setup virtual host's etc...
