Why not redirect your incoming mail to the other server so it handles the
load from now on, and leaves the existing one to chug its way through the
queue without having to deal with anything new?

That way you don't have to work out which mails are half-processed and you
don't have the overhead of moving the mail files across your network either.

It is NOT portable , and it probably never will support anything other than
