As nasty as this is, I've done it. Problem seems to have gone away.
Can anyone explain to me why Imail won't use the DNS settings in the
machine's network config to obtain MX records?
If I ever have to renumber my network, this is just one more thing to get
missed and screw my server up later down the road.
