Delphi does seem messed up. Delphi.com and delphiauto.com resolve to the same IP address. The reverse lookup answers as delphiauto.com. If forward and reverse lookups matched to delphi.com then IMail would have gotten the MX records for delphi.com. Gary

This is not even the documented problem with the 6.x versions of Imail connecting to the A record instead of the MX, because delphiauto.com just doesn't have any mx records to connect to. 06:04 10:46 SMTP-(000000FD) Trying delphiauto.com (0) 06:04 10:47 SMTP-(000000FD) MX connect fail "164.109.59.132" Even putting Host file entries in your Imail machine to delphi.com will not correct this unless you forge an entry that pointed delphiauto.com to the delphi.com mx servers. Then you risk the chance that you are sending email to the wrong server and then if there is no valid recipient, you will get it bounced back or even worse, they have a user by the same name and through some quirk, someone gets email that is not intended for them that might even by proprietary in nature. In my opinion, this is not something that should be done or even considered.
