This appliance can connect to a VSWITCH? Yes. It will tolerate both layer 2 and layer 3 VSWITCHes. And how will my SMTP talk to it? Over CTC? HS? What we suggest for front-ending these older VM TCP services is that you get another IP address from your networking folks (just one is

Well, things have gotten a bit confused, and they DO think it's my fault. They said that their server is enabled for anonymous SMTP, but that I am accessing the wrong server! The SMTP CONFIG file says IPMAILERADDRESS ALL our.network.mailer.name This name is actually a balancer, which
