I am using another machine for DNS. I don't remember
setting up MS DNS on the NT machine....is this done automatically?

NT's resolver service does become entwined with the MS DNS
as soon as it (MS DNS) is installed. MS DNS pre SP4 was roller coaster
rubbish and pre SP5 was at best a square wheel. SP5 resolves a lot of
the issues with MS DNS. I mention all of this because I have seen
similar circumstances with other NT based mail servers and IP based apps as
well (first hand). The culprit almost always being the MS DNS server
(even if not being used to resolve names). Even if you are pointing at a
remote DNS server in IMAIL, you still use the local resolver service to get to
them... Could be other things, but I have seen this enough that I think
it is worth checking out. SP4 and 5 both updated the Name resolver
components.

I had the problem and DNS was running on a
different machine. I could start and stop the mail server and that
wouldnt fix it only restarting the machine would. Because of that I could
see how it could be a problem with something else. Just not the DNS
for me.

Are you running DNS on the same machine? if so
check that it is not a problem with DNS being dead and so outbound names
suddenly become unresolvable... Next time it happens try restarting
DNS only, then process Queue on IMAIL as a test. Rebooting may be
fixing your "weakling" NT DNS service and IMAIL gets the
blame.

I am having a strange problem with imail 5.0.
About every week or so imail stops sending and receiving mail.
It's like it holds all the mail in queue and I have to restart the
machine to get it to release. It doesn't lose any messages, it
just stops doing it's thing until I restart then it works for about a
week then does it again. Anyone every heard of this?
