IMail will listen on any IP's that are bound to a domain. therefore you can make a dummy domain then just go into the registry and make the changes to the IP in the circular reference. I added a virtual999 domain then changed the $virtual999 to 127.0.0.1 in the domains key in the registry. Make sure you get change both values, the actual IP and the address value for the official host name.

Hi Mike:

It should be supported, but as a clickable assign. <<

Don't know what a clickable assign is - or where to click to assign it.
However, if I go to the place where you add a new Imail host and then pick
an IP address for the Imail host - it does't show up in that pull-down of
available IP addresses. Where does it show up in your Imail 8.21?

Besides, I really don't NEED it to become a dummy "mailbox" host - I just
want it to answer port 25 on 127.0.0.1 [localhost] for the local web server
applications.

I have the suspicion that Ipswitch may have overlooked handling 127.0.0.1.
I haven't found a registry hack to turn on 127.0.0.1 either.

Andy,

It should be supported, but as a clickable assign. After all, you might have
another SMTP server assigned to 127.0.0.1.
