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 > -----Original Message----- > From: R.
