Anyway, the point remains that if NetMail can have its banner changed (which you didn't mention), IMail would be able to form a primitive cluster with NetMail during your migration, allowing your proposed non-standard setup to work.
I don't have the ability to change the banner, so it will be a forklift migration; fortunately there's no hurry.
A glimmer of hope exists because NetMail stores all it's mail in unix mbox format. As a test, I copies a NetMail mail file to test iMail account. Alas, there are apparently some disagreements among programmers about how the mbox format really looks, because some messages were munged up. Further investigation shows that I can probably fire up my PowerBasic compiler and write a small program to fix things.
One other question -- if I setup iMail to relay incoming mail for the old server, will iMail (with declude AV and anti-spam) do the anti-virus/spam sanitation before relaying it, or will it just queue it and send it?
TIA for all advice.
