two different namespaces. computer name = MS networking namespace aka NetBIOS machinename. MS strongly recommends that the machinename = tcp/ip hostname but Imail can have 100's of different mail hostnames, real or virtual, in the tcp/ip namespace. See page 30 in the Imail u/g. hint: call all your Imail hostnames "domain.com", and NOT "mail.domain.com".
