    moving mail means you have zero down time
            - other than telling your pop servers where to
            pop mail from ( MX 30 or MX 20 or its already load balanced )

    MX 30 ( secondarymail.ComputerNick.com) will be handling all your mail
    while your primary MX 20 ( mail.ComputerNick.com ) is down and being moved

    when mail.ComputerNick.com comes back online, all mail will be
    forward to it from secondarymail.ComputerNick.com

    - than move secondarymail when you have time

    each and any mail server should be able to do everything the other was
    doing ( especially antispam and antivirus rules )
