Which box is doing the dial-up networking? How is it getting an IP address?
Is IMail even looking for that address to send on, or is it only aware of
the internal network's IP? If it's the IMail server itself which is doing
the dialing, then it has to know to route external IP destinations to the
dial-up connection and internal ones to the NIC. Somewhere in the DUN setup
is a checkbox to enable this kind of routing, that is what Daniel is talking
about.
