Scott,

I had changed the ip address b-4 I posted the message.


Many thanks for the quick response and additional
info. It looks like you were right...it's getting this
from the reverse DNS. 

I'm kinda thinking out loud here because I'm still
going to have to come up with some kind of workaround.
Do you know if on IIS there is a setting to change the
primary ip of the box? The box in question has several
ip's and I have Imail configured to use another IP
which I wouldn't mind to be the primary  one which
answers, the problem is the one that is answering now
is not one that I can use for all domains, so I'm
guessing that there is a setting in IIS somewhere that
sets one ip to be primary.  Or is this something that
can not be changed on the box itself, but rather I'd
have to change ip addresses of the domains around and
wait for reprogation to occur. (hoping this is not the
case...) 

Anyway, really appreciate your insight, if there's any
other suggestions you can share, I'd be grateful. 

Jennifer

<<Although this header is a bit different from the way
that most are done (since the IP isn't included, or
was removed before you posted it), the general
principle is the same:  There are 2 host names, rather
than just one.  That's because all another mail server
really knows about yours is its IP address.  You can
claim to be any domain you want.


So, many mailservers will do something include the IP
address, the domain name (from the HELO/EHLO
statement), and then the reverse IP address of the IP
address of the mail server.  I'm guessing that
wrongdomain.com is the reverse DNS entry for the IP
address of your mail server.


You may want to use our Reverse DNS Tester at
http://www.declude.com/tools to verify this, entering
the IP address of your mail server.
