I'll check on that for sure.

If you're a unix guy, check out bind version 9.2.2 or above. it allows you to setup internal and external views of your dns. that way you can specify your internal ip's to use your 10. address and all other ip's to use your publick address for resolve... works great!

Where and how is called that host file in windows 2000 ( aka /etc/hosts )
Thanx Brad, I'll check on that solution.. is not quite ellegant but until our
DNS problem is solved, this could to the trick.

My question is why IMail don't use 127.0.0.1 for self service querying?
Is there a reason for that.
I can't answer this question but my guess is that since under normal circumstances, the name resolves to the local IP address, this optimization isn't necessary.
Have you tried adding an entry to the server's hosts file so that when it queries DNS for its own IP address, it gets the local address? You could even resolve the name to 127.0.0.1 if you'd prefer.

Brad
