[vps-mail] E-mail Only Server

[Mike Skimin <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

We have a client who is starting to utilize a lot of e-mail and would 
like to purchase an additional server (VPS2B) just for e-mail.  Their 
current e-mail and website are on the same server, which is dedicated to 
this client. 

In order to accomplish this, I know I need to create each account on the 
e-mail only server (and transfer e-mail files).  I also know I need to 
add their domain to the local-host-names on the new server and (I 
assume) remove it from the old server.  I also know I need to update the 
MX to point to the new server. 

Do I have to do any updates with Apache so FormMail program will forward 
to the new server?   Do I need to update sendmail to tell it that not to 
accept outside connections as all of the connections should go to the 
new e-mail server? 

Have I missed anything?  This is a big client of ours and I don't want 
to mess this up and risk losing the client.

Thank you for your help in this matter.

Mike
