RE: [IMail Forum] Peering Questions

So basically hang it up if you want to use webmail with multiple IMAIL
servers?? Ipswitch? Is there any way to do this?

                that's an HTTP request, it has to be directed to an hostname
/ ip 
                address.  Imail's peering functions won't even see HTTP.

                No, Imail peering only works with incoming mail over SMTP,
not incoming 
                HTTP.  So, web messaging users have to know which specific
Imail machine, 
                of your 3, hosts their mail account.  iow, Imail peering
doesn't load-share 
                the Web msging load.
