Brian,
>From some research I did on DNS (maybe from RFCs) for a training session, I
find that a 'hostname' cannot be more than 63 characters (not counting the
'.'s). This may have been superceeded by a new RFC, but I kind of doubt it.
So if the 'domain name' portion is 64 characters, and then you need to add a
'host' portion, you will exceed the limit.
IMail should support anything up to the max as specified by RFC. I have a
domain with a 28 character name, and it works fine.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Domain Name Length
I have a customer who wants a domain name of 64 characters in length. Please
don't ask why. Does anybody know the max length that iMail can handle? Also,
are you aware of any clients that may have a problem with this length?
