Scott, I somewhat agree with your explanation concerning this. "It makes sense"
What I don't understand is this.. and please try it yourself. I can not send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with our IMail 7.15 server. I can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with hotmail.com, yahoo.com, aol.com, msn.com I realize that hswcorp.com has a tango uniform exchange 5.5 server but how to I explain this to both CEO's? Any thoughts? ~Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: "R.
