Lewis,
I think Len was trying to tell you that, yes, you probably do have something
wrong and if you use the instructions for 'Store and Forward' (or the ones
for peering, pg 40!) you will find your answer. I'm betting your HOSTS file
is not correct!

Wish that were the case, but mine is not functioning like that. As soon as
the SMTP verify is done to the other server and no response is received it
treats it like an unknown user and returns the email to sender....Has anyone
else seen this or does it hold the emails as it should? Am I missing a
setting, I don't believe I am....

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Another Peering Issue
One thing that truely surprized me was the fact that if one of my
servers goes down or the communication line between them goes down, all mail
destined for the downed server is returned to the sender after one failed
attempt to connect.
hmmm, Page 40:
"If either peer server is down, the other peer server will receive and
hold mail for it until the first server comes back up."
Why will Imail not requeue the mail and follow the same delivery rules
as regular SMTP traffic, holding and delivering the mail once the downed
server comes back online??????
Am I missing something here?
Not afaics.
I bet the SMTP client follows the same rules for peer relaying as it does
for non-peer relaying, looks in hosts file to see where the other peers are,
and then follow the X attempts every Y minutes. What do you have for those
X, Y values?
