Elitehost Tip - To minimize mail going to 2 different servers do this:

1. 25 hours (or TTL+1 hour) in advance drop the TTL of your MX records to 1 hour
2. 90 minutes in advance drop the TTL of your MX records to 5 minutes
3. 10 minutes in advance drop the TTL of your MX records to 1 minute
4. Change the MX records to the new IP, put the TTL back to the original value
