There is a route that is taken to the machine that has the Imail server on
it. Here is what's supposed to happen, from outlook express on my local
machine under the default account milkyway.starphire.com, I send a message
and this message gets routed to a machine which has no Imail server setup on
it but contains a DNS entry that points to another machine that does. I
recently changed the A record in the DNS so that it doesn't point to the IP
address of the machine itself, but to the IP of the virtual host in Imail
that contains the user accounts that we are trying to setup. Here is a
point that could be of major interest. The machine that has Imail installed
on it that is supposed to receive mail has a firewall. Could this be
something major?
