I actually solved this shortly after posting the message. You are correct that Imail uses the primary IP of the NIC. I switched the IPs (both are in use) and made the desired IP the primary IP of the NIC. Now my "Received from" header is correct. Annoying that Imail just defaults to this IP without any options to set it.

It is set to an > IP that existed on the server before I moved the Imail installation. The last Received: header is added, as you might imagine, by the last receiving server. Except when you hack that last mail server to forge it, it is the one header that is reliable, as it is based on socket-level information. If it's saying that a given IP connected to it, you still have that IP on your originating box. If it's the primary IP address of a given NIC, that'll be problematic--why have it around at all if it's not in use? Also be aware that "Bind to IP" was only recently hotfixed (I myself haven't verified it), so don't count on it yet to fix this problem. -Sandy Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
