Most of the time A records in our case are set to the web server (customer preference). I am more concerned about RFC strict and mail servers with other settings such as requiring forward and reverse dns to match. In those cases using example.com as the primary host name (in imail) when it is in fact mail.example.com and example.com points to the persons website will cause problems when connecting to those strict mail servers. >> However, if you use mail.domain.com then all email coming from webmail >> has [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which some people do not like). > >...until users or admins change the Reply-To:. Is there a way to make this a default? Thanks again I will try to find the archives and look up the past thread. P.S.
