This being the case is there anyway to resolve the issue from this end. This
site is the New Zealand Ministry of Education ( These guys don't admit to
being wrong) we have to file Data Returns with them every 3 months. IMail
won't talk to their mail server because of this yet I can send the files
home and then send them to minedu using my ISP and all works fine. ???????
This is why I wondered if IMail was getting what it is being told wrong but
I know the logs don't lie ....
