Yes, they are on the same subnet. I was using the FQDN, didn't check the
IP. Yes, I scanned the ip - didn't find the www service. Checked the www
service manually and it still didn't find it. And, I found that Whatsup
Gold will scan and find the Imail messaging service normally. As far as off
topic. I'm just using Whatsup as a tool to trouble shoot the differences
between Imail web messaging and run of the mill web services. There is
obviously something triggering my firewall and keeping Whatsup from
monitoring it. I'm not requesting help with Whatsup, I'm requesting
information on Imail. Without knowing what triggered the firewall I don't
trust that it will keep passing the Imail web messaging reliably.

Are the two boxes on the same subnet?
Are you using the DNS FQDN to hit the server or the IP?
Did you run the scan from What's up or just enter HTTP as a service to
check
for?
