Thank you, Scott & John. Unfortunately, I had to perform a complete re-install of IMail, Declude, KillerWebMail, etc. -- the whole shabang.
As it turns out, things got a whole lot worse, as John suggested, even though I had promptly restored the registry changes. Within an hour of Scott's reply, all outbound mail began to fail. I couldn't reply to you with my logfile. I couldn't reach the list anymore. Messages were failing with "unknown host: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" Today, I re-installed IMail, Declude and KWM and everything works fine, including Declude's IP4R tests. The only difference in today's installation from previous is that the server's IP address isn't temporary. We re-installed on the live box in the live environment with the server's bloody live IP address. So, I'm still trying to figure out what failed. I can only guess that IMail had latched onto the server's IP address during installation (a temporary address supplied by DHCP in our lab) and then barfed when the machine was moved into production and the IP address manually changed. This is unacceptable and I'm going to forward my findings to the IMail discussion list. It's bad enough that IMail grabs onto every IP address on a multi-homed server, making for incompatibilities with other network apps (apps which are polite enough to take only one IP address). But now, THIS is rediculous. Anyhoo, I'm ranting.... must... have... sed.. a.. tives.... Thank you for your help. I am sorry to have troubled the Declude list with this issue, now that it appears to be an IMail "thing." I hope my saga is helpful to someone some day. If anyone has any more clues as to the cause, please drop me a note. Dave "R. Scott Perry" wrote: > > ?The DNS servers appear to be working fine.
