If IMail is using an 'Official HostName' on the Primary IP, that does not
match the real Hostname (in TCPIP settings), then an entry (IP and the
hostname used by IMail) in the HOSTS file is _required_. Otherwise it will
go to DNS, find the IP (of the other machine!) and attempt to connect to
that host.
