I think I can set up a .qmail file to forward any new mail that appears

Good plan.
First problem: sqwebmail shows my email address as
rd...@newserver.theduz.com, not rd...@theduz.com. newserver is not listed
as an mx (yet). Seems like that will mess up replies from folks that I
send e-mail to from that server.
Look at the "defaultdomain" section in 'man courier'. It won't mess up
replies (a domain doesn't need an record if the A resolves to the proper
place), but it's probably not what you want. Once you fix
"defaultdomain", remove the sqwebmail preferences file from your Maildir.
Second problem: I have more than one user in the domain. If I migrate
just myself, how should I set up courier's locals file? Other users of
my domain are still on the old server...
Your .qmail file should direct mail to rd...@newserver.theduz.com. That
host should only have newserver.theduz.com in its locals file. Later,
as the last step of your transition, you'll change your MX record for
theduz.com to point to newserver, and add theduz.com to it's locals file.
Should I be doing something with esmtproutes, perhaps?
Nope. As long as theduz.com isn't in locals, normal routing rules will
get mail where it's supposed to go.
