Hi,

But isn't a valid MX record required to "fully" test the new server? I mean I want to be sure it can send and receive before deploying it completely.

I was thinking of taking one of the least least populated domains we have and setting it up with that (changing the MX to the router's IP), then imapsync ALL messages, test mail send/receive and then modify the config so it takes the major domain name (by this I mean we have company.com, company.eu company.hu ...etc) we now use company.com, but still get emails to the .eu domain, although only to its info email address. All of these are currently pumped into the user's mailboxes. If I take the company.eu and set the MX to the "testing" server's IP, install Zimbra, sync, try send and receive and add the rest as domains using the admin gui, then if all goes well rename the major domain to .com and deploy. Would this work? How would I change the default domain in zimbra once its setup and would this affect the mailbox contents that got synced?
