SURGEMAIL WIKIPEDIA INSTALL
Install SurgeMail onto your new server and configure to host your existing domains. Backup your existing mail server’s mailbox files 🙂. Mail delivered to SurgeMail for users that have not yet logged in will be forwarded on to your old mail server. From now on the user will use SurgeMail as their primary mailserver and mail for them will be delivered locally. If the account is valid SurgeMail will create an account and retrieve mail for this account storing it locally. When a user logs into SurgeMail and a local account does not exist, SurgeMail will login to the old server check the account is valid. This method configures SurgeMail to be the new mailserver for all users. This is a simple zero downtime method for migrating all active accounts from any arbitraty mailserver to SurgeMail.
