Scott, You're telling me what I already know: this should not be happening.
Im hoping to move towards a solution at this point. Now running 8.03 with the same problems. Andrew -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.

The *only* time that IMail should use an A record for sending E-mail is if it has already queried for the MX record, and has been told that the MX record does not exist. If there is a DNS timeout or any other issue when looking up the MX record, IMail should re-queue the E-mail and try it later. Older versions of IMail (pre-7.04, it seems) would incorrectly use the A record in certain situations (I believe it would be if the MX records were tried, but could not be reached). -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
