Steven,
1) No from both Web interfaces. Yes, from console.
2) Imail will now ignore the IP address in the http request rather than
making sure it matches the last request. Less secure, as the2nd and
subsequent requests could now come from any IP rather than just 1 IP.
3) Global, as it applies to the Web Service itself, which is used by all
domains/hosts/IPs.

Subject: [IMail Forum] AOL Users and Web Messaging
The Imail online knowledge base has the info below, which pretty much
matches the issue I have. My IMail is hosted on version 5.0. My questions
are:
1) Can this setting be changed from the web interface, or must a sysadm of
the NT box make the change locally?
2) What are the security implications of making this change? (i.e. Enable
"Ignore source address in security check")
3) Is the setting global to all IMail accounts on that NT box, or is it
specific to a particulary IP/web?
Thanks,
Steven

FROM THE KNOWLEDGE BASE
Question/Problem: I have users who use AOL and the Web Messaging Interface.
They cannot connect to my IMail server to see their messages. Can you tell
me why this happens and how to fix it?
Answer/Solution: Due to the methods AOL uses (IP addresses and other
security issues) and how IMail checks the request for data from the remote
user for the Web Messaging, they are being denied access. However we do have
a method for resolving this.
In IMail Administrator | localhost | Web Messaging Server enable this
option: "Ignore source address in security check". (In IMail 5.0 run Web
Messaging Manager.)
Stop and restart the service.
