As we have been discussing, I moved my mail server this past weekend.

A note on a blip I experienced:

I changed the internal IP on the new server to match the old server's IP (I
gave the old one a completely different IP) after moving mailboxes so that I
would not have to mess with router settings and such for the NAT. It worked
fine, because the DNS was still correct, mail came through, etc.

On Monday, when people started Outlook and it looked for the new mail
server, some users had issues with the new IP. They were trying to resolve
to the old IP. I blew out WINS and it still looked for the old POC. A well
meaning coworker added an LMHOSTS entry for the server (GOD NOOOOOOOOOO).
Bad form, but it worked at that moment, which is all users seem to care
about.

I plan to go back and fix this issue when things settle down.

I just wanted to bring this up for posterity's sake. *wink
