Thanks Mark,,,

And yes to your questions 

I will call it the same name,  the IP address will be changed but I will
just change the DNS entry and point it to my new IP...


I will install sendmail on it(but any suggestions ?)  and apache will be
installed as well.... I'll read on the links u sent...

I will do a test tonight,,,, 6PM EST......   

Many thanks again..

Will the new server have the same hostname(s) (server.example.com) as
the old? Will it have an MTA and a web server for Mailman?


If the answers are yes, then you're probably OK.

If the name is different, see
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.029.htp>.

If the new server doesn't have an MTA, you will have issues with sending
and receiving mail. If it doesn't have a web server, you will have
issues with the web interface.

In any case,
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.004.htp>
may be of interest.
