How are you supposed to gracefully migrate a live domain? I'm not especially familiar with their mail server product (I should get more familiar I suppose -- It's the one area I will not ever outsource though, unfortunately for Tucows) but still, in every successful migration of any sort that I've ever done, the only reliable method has been to keep both the old and new services running simultaneously for a brief period, at least 24 hours above your TTL (to accommodate ISPs that don't grasp how TTLs work)
