This has happened to me before. I had Imail using our ISP's DNS for lookups and I think there was a latency issue because it was returning wrong Ips for domains. I set up DNS on the Imail box itself (Win2K server with plenty of resources to do so) and the problem went away immediately.
Try using DNS either on the Imail box or as close/fast as possible. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.

IMail is finding an IP address that doesn't belong to the domain that it is sending to. I have never seen it do that before. I would recommend upgrading to the latest version of IMail. If you are on IMail v8, you may want to try disabling the DNS caching. Also, you can manually check your DNS server to see whether it is reporting the correct answer. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
