Sandy,

Well, they work when they feel like working.  :-)   Sometimes one DNS
times out, sometimes two times out, sometimes 3 time out when I launch
NSLOOKUP.   It's been like that for as far back as I can remember.

How do you know what I have in Windows?

63.101.159.232 is the IP address of the NIC card on my IIS 5 web server.
Maybe I should remove it from the Imail Domain Name Server field?

WHAT SMPTD dialog are you referring to?  There is no SMPTD dialog in
Imail Administrator.
