HOSTS file is incorrect as it should also have this line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
And this one, too:
1.2.3.4 real_hostname
To run IMail with the OHN different from the real_hostname (found in TCPIP
settings, Host and Domain names), HOSTS file also needs:
1.2.3.4 name_used_as_OHN
Since yours does not (IMail is using as OHN, aramail.com) and that hostname
has no IP in DNS, IMail may not be able to deliver email to the local domain
(aramail.com) because it cannot 'resolve' it.
This assumes you have only 1 domain.
Note: mail1.aramail.com also has no A record in DNS.
You should have some email from me, in your mailbox. I connected via SMTP
and sent one.
