> Len, here are my answers:
> 1) I didn't make an alias. I entered a virtual host under:
imail-menu-point
> 'official host name'
> as it is described in the imail docu.
> 2) I did not take 127.0.0.1 as the IP-adress !!! As I said, the actual IP
> is different
> but the A record is correct.
> 3) Having trouble means this: "Your message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] was not
> delivered" as an error answer to a test mail
> to the mail-box. I will try to find out what imail is writing to:
> home\spool\sysMMDD.txt
