This is how "DNS resolvers" work.
When a resolver is handed a non-FQDN to resolve, it adds the
"default/search domain" from the tcp/ip settings.
resolver sees: get ip by hostname for "Len"
resolver adds "defaultdom.com" to "Len" and then looks up:
Len.defaultdom.com
... starting with Win32 "hosts" file, then DNS.
You should always fully qualify your domain names in Imail alias field or
anywhere in Imail to avoid surprises, esp in virtual hosting environment.
