OT: Executing PHP code in a .htm(l) file

That depends. If they went to "mail.theirsite.com" before, they'll still go
there, they'll just get sent to a different server once the change
propagates. So unless one server uses a different style POP or SMTP setting,
that won't change.

You shouldn't have to do that either. If the domain name is the
same, use the same login and passwords on the new site and they
won't know the difference. The only messy part is watching the
propagation and making sure no emails slip through to the old
account during the brief transition.

But that's all easy for me to say....I don't plan on doing it again
anytime soon!

migrating 19 sites to another site host.

What control panel do they use. Don't know; don't care. :-)

What a pain! Yes, I have considered a new host but I have 19
sites with CT and the thought of migrating all of them is
enough to keep me up nights.

What Control Panel do they use? I did a big migration a year or
so ago and going from CPanel to Cpanel was pretty darned easy and
painless. Nail biting, but easy and painless. (:})

If the host has any brains, they will always configure the mailservers as
'mail.domain.com', in which case you don't have to do a damn thing.

OHMYGOD! You're right. What was I thinking? Quick answer: I wasn't.

Hmmm... something to consider.

....and you make the switch for any given site/company late Friday night so
it propagates over the weekend when email is slower so the odds of mail
slipping through is minimal. I always supply them with webmail access info
for the old site (using the IP number~site) and tell them to all check mail
at the old site on Monday morning. Once that first batch is cleared out,
it's safe to not worry about the old server.
