Here is the problem. Imail does not perform smtp authenication on virtual domains that share an IP address. (See Link).
http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-20000117-DM01.htm The way I read this, the primary domain has to be running with IMAIL database. We do not want to do that since we have an elaborate accounting system that is integrated with MS SQL. We set up some virtual domains that share an IP and we want to be able to have the users of those domains to use SMTP AUTH but I have been told that IMAIL will not do that with an external data base.
