Michael,
I'm just not sure what you mean by 'virtual path' so I have not seen what
you are describing. I was offering something that might help you. Sorry, if
it did not help you.
I'm afraid I just don't have the time to setup all the needed domains and
web files to simulate your problem, so it is unlikely I will be able to try
your example (unless you give me access to your system?).
If the IMail domain has an IP address, it is expected the user (via the
hostname you give them and DNS resolving it) will connect to that IP, rather
than the Primary IP (or other secondary IPs). The primary IP would be used
by the users of that domain and by users of a IMail domains without IP
addresses. Your earlier message seems to confirm that this way works OK.
Is it a bug when you use it differently? Maybe, maybe not!
Daniel Donnelly
