Hello all again. I'm still having some major trouble
with our host regarding the domain name issue that I
posted about yesterday. They keep insisting that the
trouble is an IMail issue, although I passed on
Scott's response to me (see below) about this not
being an Imail issue.

>From Scott...
"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." End Scott's response

Back to Jennifer's new message..
The server in question has several IP addresses, but
when we send mail through Imail, the IP address that
displays in the headers is not the appropriate one,
and not the one that we've set as the global mail
server in the Imail administrator. The wrong host name
does appear to be the reverse DNS for one of the IP's
on the server, I just need to figure out how to tell
the server to use a different IP address as the
primary one if this is not an Imail issue. 

See below:

Can anyone help me with some info in terms of whether
this could possibly be caused by having a server that
has the wrong primary IP assigned to the box, with the
other IP's being secondary...if there is such a thing
in IIS? Or, does anyone have any ideas on how to solve
this problem?

Thanks again, 
Jennifer
