You won't be able to send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] domain.com has only 1
MX record (mail.domain.com) with a cute IP address of 127.0.0.1, likely
because their domain has been so well abused. If you weren't really trying
to send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], you can use "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which [1]
The RFCs designate for this purpose, and [2] Clearly shows us that you
aren't giving us the real domain.
Anyways...

My guess would be there is a 90%-or-so chance that IMail is handling this
properly, and there are DNS problems (or SMTP problems) with the domain you
are trying to send to. What is the domain?

I believe that IMail doesn't log the servers that it tries, just the ones
that it actually connects to. So you may not see if is trying all 3.
