Dan,
I don't think that I changed anything other than trying to add a new host
using an external database for user information. I had some trouble getting
the external database host to run and downloaded odbcuser.dll from the
Ipswitch site and replaced the existing odbcuser.dll file with it. I don't
think that other than this anything was changed. Have not added a firewall
or changed the DNS server. The log shows that iMail is properly resolving
mail hosts, it just can't connect to them. It gets the "MX Connect Fail"
error everytime.
I am getting swamped with emails from users. Anyone have any suggestions
what to look at/for?
Thanks if you have ideas.
