David,
One more thing:
If this domain is on the Primary IP of the computer, you will also need to
modify the winnt/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file. See KB or manual for more
info.

Subject: [IMail Forum] switching host names
> My main mail site official host name is "mail.stat.com" with the alias

> This presents a problem that all listserv type mail originates with the

> If I swap the two, ie official name to stat.com and alias to

> I assume I would then need to setup a reverse DNS record for stat.com

> Anyone see any problems with this plan? I just thought it was a no-no
