The old and the new - how to do it? cross post in Community.linux-User International

[Jim]

Hello,

Currently I have Netware 6.5.7 SB suite/ has GroupWise.

I want to move to the Linux platform with OES2/NOWS.

The "Boss" wants to keep the current domain: Joh...@SupplyHouseA.net

He wants to change it to a new web site domain name:
Joh...@SupplyHouseB.net

I already have the web site redirected.

Type in old domain name and it goes to new domain name.

He will however drop the old domain in a few months after all customers make
the change.

I am sure that this happens to many companies that change their domain name.

How can I do this?

Can I use my old server (GroupWise/Netware) with the old domain email
addresses and the new Linux server with the new domain address at the same
time?

Alternatively, could somehow redirect all mail from the old email address to
the new one?

The problem is, I have a lot of email on the older Netware server that I
still need.

Could it be transferred to the Linux server?

Any advice that you can provide will be appreciated very much.

Thanks for your time,

Jim

Basically yes, but what I would do is to set up groupwise to answer on both
domain names. Then migrate the entire GW system to Linux. Ask in the groupwise
forums of specifics.

Anders,

That does not sound to hard ---

I will look into that.

Thanks!
