I think the main issue is how you can/will move your lists. There are
basically two approaches to relocate a server, you can create the new
server, move lists one by one, and then close off the old one, or if
you're using the same operating system you can just move the whole
disks/directories in one block. This is usually much faster but in that
case you have to make sure that traffic isn't lost. I guess in that case
I'd create a "storage bay" account on the target system and have RSCS
reroute all files to that account, and MAILER forward the mail similarly,
to the same userid on the new system. I'd set up MAILER on the new system
to think LISTSERV is the storage userid, and have mail for LISTSERV
forwarded to the storage account as well. Then I'd have all the time I
need to move the server, and I could still send it test messages and
everything to make sure the new setup is working, and I'd simply CP
TRANSFER the files when done, first a few and then the whole bunch. Hope
this helps.
