This is related to a previous thread I started earlier regarding DNS settings, which turned up that I may have an SMTP conflict between MS SMTP and Imail SMTP.
I've disabled MS SMTP, but I still don't seem to be receiving email messages. One thing to note is that I can send messages to the Imail server internally, just not from outside of my local network. I was wondering if anybody out there has set up Imail on a Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, and if so what problems/solutions you came across in doing so. One side-effect to turning off MS SMTP: I also have a website running on IIS6 that has a form-to-email feature in it, that no longer can send email because it wants to connect to the MS SMTP to send the message. This is also something I would need help with. I realize this particular issue is not directly related to Imail or this forum, but I would like to see if anyone knows how I can effectively "replace" MS SMTP with the Imail SMTP so my website and email both work.
