I need to synchronize the email from a Courier-based email server to another non-Courier server during a domain transfer. As part of this process, I want to shut down smtp on the source server while keeping imap alive, so that I can do an imapsync[*] from the source to the destination.

I assume that all I have to do on the source server is to set ESMTPDSTART to "NO" in COURIER/etc/esmtpd and COURIER/etc/esmtpd-msa and then restart Courier.

I just want to confirm that this is the correct approach.

A much easier approach to do the same thing:

esmtpd stop

As long as you do not reboot the server, no incoming esmtp.
