Actually, you're right we are running a linux server - for mail going to "wsrepro.com". But I'm setting up an Imail server to collect mail for "pds.wsrepro.com". Both these are on different machines (one is 123, the latter is 126). We receive email just fine on the "wsrepro.com" linux server. I need to be able to also receive email just fine on the "pds.wsrepro.com" server as well. As mentioned before, both have different external IP addresses, so I'm not sure why I would be having a problem (unless I am mistaken).
