What you do inside Imail has nothing to with what you do in DNS. So
set up all your virtuals in Imail, forgetting about DNS for now.
To test your virtual, use the Unix hosts file in NT of your Imail
machine and of your NT or Win9x workstatons as a temporary subsitute for DNS:
#file: drivers/etc/hosts
ip.ad.re.ss MyVirtual.com
ip.ad.re.ss MyVirtual2.com
ip.ad.re.ss MyVirtual3.com
ip.ad.re.s2 mail.MyVirtual.com
ip.ad.re.s2 mail.MyVirtual2.com
ip.ad.re.s2 mail.MyVirtual3.com
This is how the Internet pioneers did ip-to-hostname mapping before
the boys at UC Berkley invented the Berkely Internet Name Domain, aka
BIND aks DNS.

Use hosts files, it'll work great. Win32 looks in hosts file before
it does DNS query.
