Harry,

The host name should be home.cet.com or mail2.cet.com (primary address is 206.96.91.8).
 
Why do the remote servers answer to one of the virtuals (in this case, mgear.com - see log below)?

They don't answer, you Imail sends that's what that ">" means: out of Imail to the remote server.

05:12 15:25 SMTPD(00FF01B4) [206.96.91.140] connect 206.96.91.13 port 4138
05:12 15:25 SMTPD(00FF01B4) [206.96.91.13] HELO dogbert
05:12 15:25 SMTPD(00FF01B4) [206.96.91.13] MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
05:12 15:25 SMTPD(00FF01B4) [206.96.91.13] RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
05:12 15:25 SMTPD(00FF01B4) [206.96.91.13] D:\IMAIL\spool\D84db1b4.SMD 1481

hey, "dogbert" is call the "HELO/EHLO hostname" and, to avoid your mail being rejected, MUST be a FQHN, Fully Qualifed Host Name, such as:  dogbert.com.  dogbert alone won't hack it for many servers.  but if dogbert.com is not your domain and doesn't resolve to your ip of 206.96.91.13, your mail will be rejected.  see http://bind8nt.meiway.com/itsaDNSmess.cfm

where did you put dogbert?  That dog won't fly.  stick with cet.com and mail.cet.com

Your Imail is EHLO'ing its virtual hostname mail.mgear.com as the name you put it in Imail.
