OK guys. Sometimes the smallest oversight can cause the most problems. I
have installed Imail probably 5 different times, every time on an NT 4.0
machine. This was the first server I installed on a Win 2000 machine. It
turns out that the Imail Install will enter the DNS entires from the TCP/IP
settings on the NT 4.0 machine, but this time with my Win 2000 machine it
did not. Therefore, all my connect fails were due to the fact that the
IMAIL SMTP setting was blank. After entering in my DNS server and
stop/start the service, I am not getting the problems any more.
Thanks for all the other help guys.
Kevin
