Imail is bound to the ip your network card, not the ip of your dialup
connection, which is probably a dynamic ip anyway?
So I guess going out the network card's ip, Imail can't find the WAN link
and internet??
If my wild, ignorant guess is right, then you could try this:
Leave Imail where it is, and set up another NT machine on yr LAN to handle
the dial-out chore.
In Imail, "smtp:send all mail through a gateway" where the gateway ip is
the ip of the out-dialling NT machine. In that machine,
network:protocols:tcpip, check "routing activated". I "guess" this
includes NT routing LAN-to-WAN ? ( I abstain from using NT as a
router. Like Outlook Express, IIS 2.0, IE 3.0, and tons of other stuff,
it's "free" and from MS, 'nuff said)
btw, if your Imail machine is not running a public ip address, then a lot
of mail servers, such as my IMGate anti-spam gateway for Imail, that look
up the sender will fail to accept mail from you because:
* no MX record
* no A record
* no reverse zone, and
* you're on a dial-up line ( dialups.mail-abuse.org ),
.... just for hor-d'oeurves.
If this is going to work ever, you're going to have relay all outbound your
Imail traffic through a "correct" MTA, preferably "close" to you, to escape
getting refused due to the above restrictions.
