IMail as MTA will not modify sender addresses. However, any mail that uses IMail as MUA (i.e, IMAIL1.EXE) will query the MailAddr value. Note that ODBC userbases are not subject to such restrictions, as a user can be created with the short MailAddr from the get-go. > And the MS Networking "machine/netbios name" has nothing at all, at > least directly, to do with Imail domains, and tcp/ip networking and > tcp/ip domains (ie, DNS). I wouldn't exactly say "nothing at all": if your computer name is, say, GW02, and you try to send to [EMAIL PROTECTED], IMail will try to deliver to the machine's primary IP address even if GW02 is not listed in IMail as a local host, causing either a mail loop or a bounce depending on relay config. The computer name + domain name together comprise the full computer name, subject to the same behavior. Note that under Windows 2000, there is no distinction between a TCP/IP hostname and an MS Networking hostname, since NetBIOS is now deprecated. -Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
