Scott,
IMail won't work with an IP as the OHN! Since the 'name' will be only local
to your network, make it whatever you want (of course, it should match the
name as know to NT and the TCPIP settings, too!). Of course it has to
resolve from your DNS (or the HOSTS file), so that name must be in your
resolver and give the IP for the mail server.
As long as no one else (outside the local network) can connect to it, then
you don't need to register anything!
You do have a DNS for this network, don't you?
