Just watch out that you don't accidentally setup a free-for-all relay by forwarding everything from port 25.
Yeah, good point; I hadn't thought of that. The new server would see all the connections coming from the old server, not the end users.
The old server would have to implement the relay restrictions on behalf of the new server, which requires running an SMTP server rather than just forwarding the port. This would be the place to implement qmail's 'smtproutes', pointing to the new server, as suggested by someone else earlier.
