what hostname is that? and how does it relate to EnterpriseEngery.com?

So EnterpriseEngery.com is no longer in the picture?

webterminator81.dedicated.com is your domain name? or is it some kind
of generic name from the hosting service?
>on the local host the smtp tab, it found two ip addreses 208.194.87.66 and
>208.194.87.67
it finds these from the NT tcp/ip settings, so where does
207.254.115.82 come from?
>I looked these up, they are the dns entries for crystal tech.

>I set up virtual domain mail.paragonpension.com with alias of

you followed the Imail doc, but the Imail doc is wrong. The virtual
mailhost should be paragonpension.com with mailhost alias of
mail.paragonpension.com. This will cause the default reply-to for
all mail accounts to be paragonpension.com, rather than
mail.paragonpension.com as will be the case with your setup now.

As I said Saturday, what is in the imail\spool\sys0924.txt file (or
25 now) that corresponds to your sending failures?
What is the error LookOut! Express gives when you send mail?

That is the most unambiguous statement you've made so far!! LOL
There are two areas here: DNS and Imail, complicated by your move to
a new hosting service.
I don't know what happened to EnterpriseEngergy, but let's you work
on paragonpension.
NS2.ENTERPRISEENERGY.COM does not exist in you zone, but it and ns2
are in the NetSol host whois. put ns2 in your zone file.
Here's the pp zone file:
# dig @NS1.ENTERPRISEENERGY.COM paragonpension.com axfr
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> @NS1.ENTERPRISEENERGY.COM paragonpension.com axfr
; (1 server found)
$ORIGIN paragonpension.com.
@ 1H IN SOA ns1.enterpriseenergy.com.
bartee.enterpriseenergy.com. (
29 ; serial
15M ; refresh
10M ; retry
1D ; expiry
1H ) ; minimum
1H IN A 207.254.124.237
1H IN NS ns1.enterpriseenergy.com.
1H IN NS ns2.enterpriseenergy.com.
1H IN MX 0 mail
mail 1H IN A 207.254.115.82
www 1H IN A 207.254.124.237
1. you should put an mx on the mail host.
2. MX 0 is not good practice for lowest preference number, make it MX 10.
3. After you fix this mess, change 1H TTL to 1D or 3D.
4. I guess you're using MS DNS. restrict zone transfers so Internet
can't obtain your zone contents.
pp is in pretty good shape in DNS. Now let's work on the Imail
setup. We need to know the exact error from Lookout and Imail log.
