The Hosts file is in the correct folder (c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc) and the SMTP service is using the Local System Account. When I check the SMTP log, the IMail server looks like it will read the first domain (after localhost) and properly use the private IP for delivery.
If I send a message to the second domain in the Host file list (after localhost), the send fails and the message is delivered via the gateway. All I can say is "Weird...." Also, I thought maybe there was an update so I downloaded and tried to install the 8.02 version. I'm using the Eval 8.01 but the patch would not install.
