This is the part that's got a possibility of causing you the most grief
<frown>.  When you delete the account on domain1.com you'll delete any
email in the mailbox that's not already been downloaded <frown>.

It's good you have only 20 users <smile>.

You might want to do this with a script:

1. turn off sendmail daemon, so box will refuse incoming email until
this is done.
FOR EACH USER:
2. copy /home/spool/mail/username to /home/spool/mail/username.save
3. using sun/cobalt scripts (if they exist) or the gui, delete old site
users
4. using sun/cobalt scripts (if they exist) or the gui, add new site
users
5. mv /home/spool/mail/username.save /home/spool/mail/username
6. make sure owner & group are correct for new mailboxes
END OF PER-USER STUFF
7. turn sendmail daemon back on.
