It does however respond to 110, atleat, at the surface. I believe probably gets routed by a firewall to the 110 to allow it to work, doesn't seem to do that for 25, for whatever reason. What I can't figure out is why would IMail not start to use the secondary MX after a while? I searched the entire log, it never tried the MX 100. I know how to fix it, hosts file, etc. I understand the real problem is with their MX setup, but shouldn't IMail try the 2nd mail server? I thought it only wouldn't try the secondary if it received the wrong acknowledgment, as if it were being rebooted, etc. Bralynn To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
