I believe you should be able to do this with virtusertable. You will nee=
d to
configure the new machine to accept e-mail using a distinct domain so the=
old
server can route e-mail to it, and the new server would need to accept y=
our
actual domain name for delivery too.
Then you need is a /etc/mail/virtusertable file with contents like so:
@your-domain.com %@new.your-domain.com
@your-domain.com %
This should have the effect that e-mail for 'foo@your-domain.com' is
delivered to 'foo@new.your-domain.com' (your new mail server) and to
'foo' -- a local username on the old server. This should only modify the=
envelope addresses, not rewrite the headers in the message itself.
You might need to add=20
VIRTUSER_DOMAIN(`your-domain.com')
to your $(hostname).mc file, but it should just work with the standard
freebsd.mc configuration, so long as 'your-domain.com' appears in /etc/ma=
il/local-host-names. For more information see entries matching=20
virtusertable in /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README
Alternately, if your back-end mail store is using IMAP, then you can use
imapsync (ports: mail/imapsync) to duplicate mail account contents from t=
he
old server to the new one.
Cheers,
Matthew
