Here is the log entry for one of the transmissions. The end result is the mail is not delivered and fails after 20 attempts.IMail always takes all IPs on the server that it is on and will answer on port 25 on all of them, and assumes that all of them "belong" to IMail (although if you check the archives, I believe Sandy has a workaround for that, by adding the other IPs after IMail starts up).
the "Hello" sequence is what appears to be wrong. This should show www.cado-oregon.org and an IP address of 64.85.18.53.
Following this is the message "(may be forged)". I need to get rid of this problem and make the proper domain and IP address get presented.You need to first identify the problem -- it seems that you are seeing the "(may be forged)", and assuming that the mail is blocked because of that -- but it isn't. It's like the AOL greeting that says 'we don't accept spam'; a lot of people assume that their mail doesn't get to AOL because of that, even though AOL sends that greeting to everyone.
20021210 085326 127.0.0.1 SMTP (2716) >EHLO cado-oregon.orgThat just means that the remote mailserver is willing to accept your mail. IMail is using 64.85.20.47 as the IP address, which has a reverse DNS entry of www.awasco.com, so the remote mailserver has checked your reverse DNS entries. However, I still haven't seen a single mailserver reject mail because the reverse DNS entry didn't match the "HELO/EHLO" text.
20021210 085327 127.0.0.1 SMTP (2716) 250-MAILSRV1.MIGHTY.NET Hello www.awasco.com [64.85.20.47] (may be forged), pleased to meet you
20021210 085327 127.0.0.1 SMTP (2716) >MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>And this shows that IMail sent the server an SMTP command.
So from the log file, everything is working exactly as expected (with the exception of IMail using a different IP than you would like it to, but that hasn't affected the log file).
If the E-mail isn't getting delivered, we would need to see the rest of the log file entries for this SMTP transaction (the rest of the ones with "(2716)" in them).
