Verify your DNS entries at the Imail server. If they are not correct or
the servers they specifiy are not functioning, Imail will use the stack
settings to look up an "A" record and attempt delivery.
Don't forget to stop and restart services after changes.
If the DNS settings are correct, try rebooting the server.
