I would like to stay away from this option since we plan on doing a transparent migration that will take a few nights. Turning MTA off every night seems a bit drastic.
Or better - disable LMTP service in Dovecot. Incoming mail will stay on your MTA and when you're done, you just tell it to deliver everything that piled up in the queue in the meantime
Better but still not perfect ;) We have users that work late and I am sure they would complain when they don't receive email during migration nights.
Still thinking ...
Cheers,
