I'll bet i know exactly what it is. A bug. Do you have "Relay for Local
Hosts Only" or "Relay for Local Users Only" checked? It doesn't scan the
ETRN Hosts file for some reason.

I don't understand Marius' point, because the above MX setup should
have worked, and it did work, because Imail received, but rejected,
galorath's mail. So I don't think the pb is a DNS, afaics above,
since the mail was routed successfully to MX 20.
What's your point, Marius?

(But, Jonas, what's this mail.galorath.com host? Not that it has
anything to do with Imail rejecting mail.)
Just to review:
1. To serve as secondary MX, Imail must be set to "relay for
addresses" and in that list, there must be: 64.0.159.128.
2. In NT hosts (tells Imail to accept mail for these non-Imail domains):
64.0.159.128 galorath.com
64.0.159.128 mail.galorath.com
Have you changed something, I just did this:
