No I did not. I'm afraid to mess it up again. I'm just going to reinstall
the entire imail server today.

Sorry, the day got pretty crazy and I must have missed that message. I guess
I don't understand why the official host name must be a fqdn, is it a
requirement of the internet mail standards? Does it just have to be in the
format: domain.com or does it have to be a registered name? Do recving
email servers do a reverse lookup on the sever name to filter out spam?

I am using the domain myvasp.com to test the iMail service, if that
helps. If ou were looking at cbs4u.com, our server was down on the weekend.

Thanks for your help in troubleshooting. I have seom network enginerrs
looking at it today, to determine if it is a firewall problem.
Our network security policy requires the mail server to be behind a
firewall. Is this going to be a problem, and why? or is it just that the
firewall has to support ESMTP? Does ESMTP require a different port than 25
to send and recv SMTP AUTH commands?
