Part move domain name, keep emails

I want to move/301 redirect all urls, including subdomains on olddomain.com to newdomain.com, but prevent everything in olddomain.com/static/ from redirecting. I also want to keep olddomain.com email accounts active and working. My plan is to keep the primary URL in WHM as olddomain.com and add newdomain.com as a parked/alias domain name, and assuming both domains use the same root directory, add rewrite rules to htaccess to 301 any request for olddomain to newdomain except olddomain.com/static/. I also have 2 subdomains I want to redirect, 1 of which uses document root /home/olddomain/public_html/forum/ and the other /home/olddomain/public_html/. My question is will this work or is there a better way in cPanel/WHM to achieve this? Will parking newdomain.com work with the subdomains and their respective document roots? Thanks for any help.

  Hello :) The method you described should work, depending on which Mod_Rewrite rules you add to the .htaccess file. You can add subdomains associated with the parked domain names. Documentation on parked domain names is available at:
