Welcome to the club Chuck!
We're probably going to be bypassing the Imail SMTP server eventually as
well. Having a separate IP address for each tiny domain just does not make
sense. And it is impossible to deal with two separate login styles anyway.
This almost begs the question; Is Imail then even worth staying with? All
you have left then is POP and WebMail. We use KWM so we love the WebMail but
any mail server can do POP.
SMTP auth with an external DB is something we MUST HAVE eventually.
OR you must check your POP mail before you can send SMTP mail.
Right now IMail does neither of these.
See these threads as well....
