Jason,
If, on the Primary IP (the one in the IP tab) you tell IMail, to use a name
that is different (from the Host/Domain name on the DNS tab), you _must_ put
the IP and name (that IMail uses) in the HOSTS file. So if IP tab shows
127.0.0.2 (yuck!), and its Host/Domain names are 'main' and 'domain.com' and
you tell IMail to use 'domain.com', then hosts file will be:
127.0.0.1 localhost (NT should put this one in)
127.0.0.2 main.domain.com (NT should put this one in)
127.0.0.2 domain.com (you put this one in)
Note: if HOSTS file does not end with <CRLF> (cursor goes to the blank line
after the last entry) then the last line will NOT work correctly.
