I have installed Courier on a test version of one of my sites to test the viability of using it to migrate content between a staging and production environment. One issue I have noticed so far is that Courier seems to migrate the hostname information attached to content nodes.
This is problematic because our staging site might have the homepage hostname set to staging.site.com, while the production site might have the homepage hostname set to www.site.com. If that were overwritten, the site would go down.
Is there some way (e.g., a configuration value) to prevent Courier from migrating the hostname when it migrates the content for the node?
One way around this is to add both the .stg and .com hostnames to each site. That way both get moved over by Courier. Assuming they have different dns entries having multiple on each site won't cause problems.
Disable Migration of Hostname?

I've noticed this too. It doesn' happen on my older v6 sites, just the newer v7 ones.

I also would like control over host names. I filed a feature request with a couple ideas for it:
