Dan,
I was incorrect. I have this set-up to Relay for Local Hosts Only. My ISP is GTE,
would this explain the problem? If so, what do I need to do to get around this?

||
||Grant,
||
||It is not likely that the CNAME is the cause of the problem as most mail
||servers now handle that. IMail now does, but not sure if that was fixed in
||the 4.0 series or later. I think it was by 4.07, but memory fails me right
||now.
||
||Try putting your 'local' addresses in the Relay table and see
||what that does
||for you.
||
||>From what I know of DirectPC, yes, it is 'one way' but does it
||not use is a
||modem connection for the other direction? So you end up with a
||normal duplex
||connection, with one way much faster (but may have other delays).
||
||I'd also try the IMail client on the server to send an outside email. If
||that works, then IMail itself and your 'net connection are likely
||to be OK.
||If not then look at logs to see what happened and use telnet as Kevin
||suggested. If OK, then the problem would seem to be the connection between
||your client and the server. Use telnet again, from the client machine, to
||see if you can connect to the SMTP service of IMail.

||> Hello Daniel,
||>
||> Thanks for the reply. We are currently co-located at Cinternet, they
||take care of all of our names server stuff. I was unaware that
||they had the
||priority 10 and 15 MX is going to them, but the priority 5 is going to our
||server.
||>
||> The error I gave was from MS Outlook 2000. Didn't think it
||would be of
||much help, but wanted to pass it along in case.
||>
||> As for the 'Control Access' I have not done anything with it forever!
||I think I actually had this problem all along if I was not using the
||satelite connection via DirecPC. But now that I have quit DirecPC it is a
||REAL problem.
||>
||> I just find it confusing that it works when using DirecPC
||when DirecPC
||is only one way and that is in receiving information.
||>
||> I just tried setting it SMTP to Relay ALL Mail and stopped and
||restarted the service. The problem still exists. Could the CNAME and A
||Record problems possibly cuase this?
||>
||> Thanks,
