You're probably not getting an answer because your question is so general, and parts of it like changing the official host name have been covered a lot in the past...and are available on IMail's support site.
See http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-19991007-DM01.htm There's no real justification to change the official hostname if you're retaining both domains, unless you just want to make it more "organized". However, that's not your issue with AOL and hotmail. All AOL requires is a valid Reverse DNS. It doesn't matter if RDNS returns a different hostname. I would suggest checking dnsstuff.com to see if you're on blacklists, or if there are other issues with your DNS. Otherwise, you should be contacting AOL/hotmail/etc. to find out from them if they are blocking you.

What used to be the primary is thecashstore.com and we had cottonwoodfinancial.com as a virtual host without an IP for just a few accounts. But management decided to ditch thecashstore.com (which is the primary host for the server) and go to cottonwoodfinancial.com for the entire company. The problem I'm running into is some domains like aol and hotmail will not accept mail from us. When querying the mail server it still says thecashstore.com. Will there be any issues if I change the primary hostname in IMail Admin to cottonwoodfinancial.com? The main thing I'm worried about is thecashstore.com is tied to the main IP of the mail server, and cottonwoodfinancial.com is just listed as a virtual host on that IP. Thanks!
