Hi Paul and SIM folks,

I think the problem is that you have your backup server set as a "Client
Host" of your primary server.

For a Sims server you almost never want to have anything in the "Client
Host". The reason for never putting any IP addresses in is a client can send
to anyone. The only time you want outgoing email to be sent is if someone
has Authenticated with your server from their email client. Your Backup
server will only be sending email to your primary never to your primary then
aol. So having your backup server's ip listed as a "Client Host" will turn
you in to an open relay (bad thing :)).

One of the changes you made removed you from the ordb's test. Not both.

Keep the router line drop the ip of your backup from the primary server.
