After making sure that my VPS is receiving packets on the right address, I'm now getting warnings that it's sending on the old address.  To my knowledge I don't have any software installed for which I needed to specify the VPS' IP, so my guess is that this will end when I remove the old address from network/interfaces.  Is that right?  Is there a way to test before deleting the old IP?

Thanks,
Mike

Dear customer,

You're receiving this email because our monitoring has detected that, in
the last 24 hours, your VPS "science" is still sending packets from the
address 212.13.195.254, which is part of our deprecated range of IP
addresses, 212.13.194.0/23.

Back at the start of November 2011 we announced that a renumbering would
be necessary, and we set a deadline of Monday 6th February 2012 for this
to be completed:

* Announcement:

* Full instructions:

There's now just over a week before the IP addresses that you are still
making use of are taken out of service. If you don't act to stop using
these addresses then YOU WILL EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF SERVICE once
212.13.194.0/23 is decommissioned.

Therefore if you have any questions about the renumbering process or
need help to complete it, it is important that you get in touch with us
as soon as possible.

Questions regarding how to renumber would be best asked on the users
mailing list:

BitFolk will only be able to carry out the work on your behalf as a
chargeable consultancy service. Please contact support if you would like
us to do this.

It is possible that you have received this email purely because you
still have one or more of the deprecated IP addresses active on your
VPS. Internet hosts receive a constant "background noise" of random
traffic. It is recommended to remove the deprecated IP addresses once
you think you don't need them any longer, both to avoid this and to
reassure yourself that they are really not in use by other systems.
