yes

where does it get the username and password, from the W2K user accounts?

let it output like most SMTP servers on any non-privileged port 
(above 1023). Why contrain its output to a single port?

I dunno, but there's no need to do it, so why do it?

unreasonable, how would Imail send mail to remote servers or receive 
mail to Imail mailboxes?

>111 and port 25.

configure it to listen port 110 or 26 or whatever, but let the 
sending occur on any free tcp port above 1023.

fatal: MS SMTP server doesn't know how to deliver incoming mail to 
Imail mailboxes.
