Sounds like you have something wrong here. If the Imail
server is just supposed to do store and forward for your
server then there should not be any entries for 123.com
in the Imail Server. Only the hosts file entry.
If they have any entries for 123.com in Imail Admin then
it is set up wrong.
Tell the Imail admin to e-mail me directly if they are too lost.
