Why can't you use the IP tied to Imail primary host name as key, and use MACs only for tracking purposes
I can't sleep well knowing i may run into declude problems if my NIC failed

1- Please do not base keys on mac adresses. IP maybe, but not mac
I believe the decision was made to use the MAC address based on the fact that some people might be running copies of IMail on separate servers behind a single IP.
And what happens if you have 4 nics, and 32 IP address on the same machine, of
which they use Private IP's that are nat'd via separate firewalls?
That's another good reason not to use IPs. :) The 4 NICs could potentially be a problem, though.
What if a Single Nic server were to loose there nic @ 12AM Friday, So, No mail
tell Monday?
Don't worry; they have built-in failsafes to ensure that service won't be interrupted.
