I posted a few minutes ago that the comments on this subject cleared

Seems like my posts are not showing up intermittently as well.
In any event, my checklist has shrunk somewhat based on the comments
made so far.
It seems to me now that I could take two approaches. I could leave
SIMS name unchanged locally, leave DNS unchanged on the old domain,
set up the new domain with MX pointing to SIMS, and put a router
entry equating
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Or
I could change SIMS name to 'mail.newdomain.com'. Take the old domain MX
record and point to A record/mail.newdomain.com.
New domain MX and A records - mail.newdomain.com.
Router entry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Both would get the same result. If that's true, any comments on using
one or the other?
Will you be keeping and using the old domain name indefinitely or will its
use be phased out (e.g. registration allowed to expire)? If the latter, or
if there's some other preference in favor of using the new domain, then the
second approach makes more sense in the long run.
Also, again, if it were me, I'd simplify the router entry to
olddomain.com=newdomain.com. The user part wildcards are superfluous and,
to me at least, the domain level syntax is easier to read. I don't know if
it makes any difference in the router module's performance.
The only thing I'd add to that is that if you want to erase all
traces of the old domain, you'll want to change the official name of
the box. Otherwise the headers will show your mail as being routed
through olddomain.com.
So what you really may want to do is change the Main Domain Name on
the General page to newdomain.com (or mail.newdomain.com, or
whatever) and then put the router entries as
mail.olddomain.com=mail.newdomain.com
