Ah, thank you!  I have been trying to figure out why AOL users have been
unable to use our Web Messaging for months!  I just disabled this and will
have to have some of them try it again!

||This feature blocks a user's request if the IP address that they orginated
||their Imail session from changes.  This keeps a hacker from
||jumping in on a
||users sessions.  You must turn this feature OFF if you have users on AOL
||that want to use web-mail since AOL uses rolling IP addresses
||(e.g. - an AOL
||user's IP address can change as often as every GET request.  They
||don't keep
||the same IP for an entire dial-up session.)
