yes, it does matter.  That's called an "open-relay" setup.  Change to 
"relay for addresses" which, combined with SMTP AUTH, is Imail's best 
anti open-relay config.

Show us the imail\spool\sysMMDD.txt file where this person connects 
and fails.

Stop/start your Imail SMTP service.  It has been reported here, with 
6.04, that NS alone can have SMTP AUTH failures until the Imail SMTP 
svc has been stop/started.

apparently, there's still something broken in SMTP interaction of NS + 6.04.

>I have stopped and started all imail services.

oops.  The usually fix its until the next time.
