Hi Len & Scott,
I'm aware of the 51 IP address issue however I do not think this is relevant
as it is a not a domain controller (though who knows what else is wrong).
The network card is indeed an Intel PRO/100+ PCI adapter the only thing of
any note about the network layer is that the server is dual homed and also
has an Intel PRO 100+ mainboard adapter (only has 1 IP bound) on a Intel
GX440 board with dual PIII processors.
The TCP/IP layer itself appears to be working fine. Even the IMail SMTP
service appears fine as it is responding on all of the IP's (that I have
checked) and the server is still accepting mail for delivery. However it
just bungs it straight in the queue and does not appear to run the ldeliver.
As the load on the system is very low at the moment I always run the SMTP
with debug message logging, however they do not say much about local
deliver, it either works or doesn't.
Does anyone understand the mechanism for local delivery, is there a program
which does the delivery?
I'll give the support a call, it's about the right time of the morning over
in the US.
Cheers
Steve

My list wanderings tell me that how many ip's depends on the card and its
driver, not only on NT4 OS. I think NT can go over 1000 but only if the
card+drive can keep up.
Haven't heard any bad things, mostly very good things from the driver
developers, about Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 and descendants + siblings
in the that chip family.
What brand of card do you run? Yours sure sounds like a 256 - 16 = 240
type of pb, n'est-ce-pas? That's well below what I've heard NT can do.
Imail can and does handle 1000+ virtual mail hosts, but a quick look in the
KB didn't indicate much about how Imail interacts with 100's of ip
addresses on a single NIC.
I doubt it will help but maybe turn on smtp debugging, esp when Imail
traffic is absent and send one msg. debug info is not stamped with
time/date/pid.
