I do have a cable modem at home and I put their DNS into Imail and it works.
Since my web site is hosted at Interland, I wasn't sure if my cable modem
company would want me to use their DNS for the purpose of my sending mail
from my website. SWBell is my other ISP (for dialup), and it didn't work
when I used their DNS server's IP address.
So far, Interland has said that I can only use their DNS to do the recursive
lookups with Imail if I actually change my DNS records to them from
freeservers.com. I am also looking into just installing Simple DNS Plus on
my server and using it just for Imail to send mail with.
Thanks for everyone's help. I am really clueless about this stuff and was
getting very stressed out that I would never get Imail working.
This is definitely a great resource for Imail users.
