Ok, I understand. Thanks for the clarification, Eric. Since I only have one domain on my iMail server, things should go more smoothly for me.
Thanks.

When not using the proper URL you will get a log-on failure. Let's say your OHN is mail.domain.com with a host alias of domain.com. You get to the machine via www.domain.com which is not in the IMail setup. This URL is appended to the end of the userid if nothing is added by the user. Hence the logon failure with just userid and not with user@FQHN Eric S ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Huber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 9:53 AM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Problem with passwords after move to new machine. > I am interested in this as well.
