It says helpdesk but the message went to the X-RCPT-TO address which was my boss's address. We don't know how the X-RCPT-TO address got there. > >> I just discovered something interesting.

IMail should NOT use a T > file with the same name as a D file. Many other people have mentioned in previous posts about IMail sending messages to the wrong mailbox. It seems, totally unqualified opinion follows, that IMail has trouble when it is receiving many messages at the same time. This problem happened everyday during the time billing was sending out 200 - 500 bills. Today's incident involved two other people who were sending messages at the same time also (I only have 12 people testing this server right now). Technical support is supposed to call me Monday morning, so I'll see what they say. Thanks, Greg Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
