I am using the HOP 1 setting and recently tried to use the IPBYPASS and found it did not work for me either. Declude was still using the servers I had listed as bypass for its tests.
I have two separate internet connections with a NAV SMTP Gateway on each forwarding to IMail. I entered an ipbypass for each of the servers. HOP 1 had been working so when I saw IPBYPASS was messing up my tests I just went back to HOP 1 and didn't think much about it.
Normally, we recommend using "HOP 0" (the default setting), and using IPBYPASS lines for each backup/gateway. The HOP setting should only be used in cases where there will *always* be one or more hops before the IMail server (for example, if you have 2 gateways, and the MX record points to those 2 gateways, and not the IMail server, *and* nobody will connect directly to the IMail server to send outgoing E-mail).
The HOP setting will often cause confusion.
