Is this sending mail to your IMail server, or to a remote server?
>SMTP Security is set to No Relay (per email from ipswitch tech supp).
In that case, if it is outgoing mail, IMail is doing the right thing in not
allowing the relaying. "No Relay" means that IMail won't allow
relaying. SMTP AUTH may override the "No Relay" setting, I'm not sure.

This is the first problem. There's a firewall somewhere between Outlook
Express and your mail server, that is mucking around with the transaction,
altering packets, and breaking the RFCs while it does so. Quite a few
people are doing that nowadays with their firewalls, but that's a prime
suspect. It *is* interfering with your mail transactions, so it should be
highly suspect.
>SMTP: 12:09:33 [tx] EHLO ws1

Here's another funny one -- IMail does accept EHLO.
Of course, since the firewall was mucking around, there's no way to tell
for sure whether or not you reached the IMail server. But, given the
numbers that it allowed through, it doesn't look like an IMail server that
OE reached.

To be sure, you can check the IMail SYS####.TXT log file to see whether or
not this connection every occurred. I'm guessing it didn't.
