Seconding Scott, I'm sure you'll see that the "unused" IP actually answers on port 25, as IMail binds to all IPs. Furthermore, it's actually the Windows TCP/IP stack that makes the primary address assigned to the NIC card the default for outgoing connections, not IMail.* If you don't want it to be the default...well, don't make it the primary address. As Scott mentioned, having a non-matching PTR is not known to cause any problems at all. What's important is that you have a PTR, period. So I wouldn't sweat this at all, now that you understand it. > We are running Imail 7.07 on a Windows 2000 server (also running SQL > Server 2000 - another nightmare). Why are you running MSSQL instead of the IMail native database (I harp on this particularly when someone is running them on the same machine)? -Sandy *There is an apparently broken function in IMail called BindToIP, supposedly enabled by default, which would have prevented your issue from occurring if it worked as advertised.
