There are probably more than one way to accomplish this goal, but it is
definitely possible. One way is to update your new site.cfg (or go.user)
file to include both the old and new Listserv hostnames, and in the dns
record for newlist.aim.org, put an mx record for oldlist.aim.org and
delete the dns entry for oldlist.aim.org. This might take a few hours to
propagate through the many DNS servers out there on the Internet.
