Reading an old post (below)... and curious as to the answer.

Is there any way to configure IMail so that it doesn't "claim to be a host other than 
what it really is"?  This happens (of course) when using DNSReport.COM to look up a 
virtually-hosted name on our mail server instead of the primary domain that is at the 
server's IP address.

Just curious...

Thanks,

Marc
