If the mail accounts are all on the local linux box (that's how I do mine),
then it is nothing but an e-mail address change for your users...
For instance, if your old machine name was box.sucky.isp.com and user's mail
address was [EMAIL PROTECTED]
now, under the new ISP, if you have a static IP, you have probably been
assigned a permanent name, use that as the name of your new box... Then,
your user's e-mails will be [EMAIL PROTECTED]
