It shouldn't cause any problems.  However, RFC821 (SMTP) states that the "greeting" 
(the line of text that the mail server sends when you first connect to it) must start 
with a 3-digit response code (usually 220), followed by a " " or a "-", and then the 
name of the mail server.

IMail responds with "220 X1 NT-ESMTP Server domainname.com...", instead of "220 
domainname.com...".  It is a technical violation of the RFCs, but it happens often 
(some firewalls block everything after the "220 "), and it is unlikely that it will 
cause any problem.

> And How do I change that?

You can make a change in the registry that will alter the text that is displayed (the 
Knowledge Base, http://support.ipswitch.com , tells you how).  However, if you change 
the text, you lose the 2 numbers at the end that tell you how many connections IMail 
has handled since it started, and how many current connections there are.
