The old/current box is live. It has a domain, IP and matching DNS records
and it works as it should.

The new/migrated box is not yet live. We have copied Mailman to it, but we
need to test. The migration process is a bit complex because of opendkim
settings and a few other things, so I think testing first is a good idea
before we go live.

When we finish testing, I will move the old IP address to the new box (swap
IPs).

OK. I misunderstood.

For some reason, it is not working. I will review the settings.
