Hey Scott,

Not only have I stopped and restarted the services, but I've renamed the
kill.lst file to kill.old and rebooted the server...several times. No dice.
208.255.176.2 is my mail server. I've even searched for partial listings of
the customer's domain: "mail.med.upenn.edu", "mail", "med", "upenn", etc.,
and while I get listings for "mail" or "med" I don't get the entire string
"mail.med.upenn.edu". Strange. In fact, I even did searches for
"messagelabs.com" and they are the filtering company for the customer.
Nothing.

Troy

The "unacceptable address" is what IMail sends if the return address is in
the Kill List.  Have you stopped/restarted the IMail SMTP service since
making this change?

It is worth triple-checking this -- I've seen several cases where people
had double-checked the Kill List, and on the third time looking at it found
that the domain/address was listed in there.

Is 208.255.176.2 the IP of your IMail server?  If so, I would recommend
stopping/restarting the IMail SMTP service, and if that doesn't work,
checking the Kill list once more.
