Adrian,

This is ONLY when IMail computer is on 'two' different networks (it may be
the firewall/proxy) and you made the first NIC, the internal network, not
the external. If IMail is then using the internal address and you want it to
send external mail, there is no 'route' between the two, so IMail could not
send.
Many people run IMail from behind firewalls and using internal IP only. The
firewall takes care of the routing and address translation.
