It should say the OHN of the IP-ful virtual host, yes, mail.tio.nl. > A check for a PRT record wil fail as the tio.nl A record will point > to our webserver. That's absolutely right. You'll likely have to make Registry changes if what you see in the GUI suggests that mail.tio.nl should be used, but it isn't. > I can enter ONE name to use as helo name when sending mail but that > would fail for the other domains. :-( When you are using *only* IP-ful virtuals, you should be fine with multiple HELOs, as long as each possible outbound path matches up HELO-PTR-A-IP. The problem is that when you are using IP-less virtuals, mail from those virtuals will fail a HELO-PTR-A-IP roundtrip set of tests _unless_ you turn on the new (in 2006.1) use-single-HELO setting. But turning on that setting can break IP-ful virtuals on the same server. So the general rules of thumb are (a) if you are using only IP-fuls, don't turn on use-single-HELO, but of course make sure HELO-PTR-A-IP match; (b) if you are using only one primary IP-ful and the rest IP-less, turn on use-single-HELO and make HELO-PTR-A-IP match; (c) if you are using at least one IP-less and more than one IP-ful, you will do best to convert all the non-primary IP-fuls to IP-less and turn on use-single-HELO as in (b). Alternately, using an outbound gateway lets you not worry about IMail's options, since you can easily "multiplex" it through the other daemon. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
