It must be a DNS issue. Specifically with resolving mail exchanger (mx)
records. mail-me.com would not be the host contacted to attempt delivery to
that domain. It would be one of the following:
mail-intake-1.iname.net
mail-intake-2.iname.net
mail-intake-3.iname.net
All three can be reached at port 25 (SMTP) via Telnet, whereas the host
mail-me.com can only be reached on port 80. This is not at all uncommon.
iName operates a lot of domains for the sole purpose of mail hosting and
since it's all (or at least mostly) web-based, they can keep their SMTP
traffic in the iname.net world (which simplifies their own DNS issues) and
use the other domains for a web entry-point.
I'd make sure your DNS info is correct in your IP config area as well as in
IMail. As another poster mentioned, this means using numbers - not names.
Also, test your ability to resolve hostnames by trying to ping the mail
servers listed above. They won't answer because of ICMP filtering (Unix
also, apparently, has some way of allowing UDP for this as opposed to TCP or
vice versa or something similar), but you'll see if your local resolver is
working (and I think it is). Lastly, if you have the NT resource kit, use
nslookup to see how things look to your name server (see below my
signature). If you can resolve host names from the server and your name
server can determine the mail exchangers for a particular domain, then you
can be pretty certain that all is well with regard to DNS.
