Re: [IMail Forum] Cable provider in Canada (shaw.ca)

If they have multiple MXs and one is always up you can try hardcoding the good one in your hosts file.  I know some admins do that for hotmail and others since their servers are often unavailable and return a temporary erros... which by the RFC means the mail server is supposed to keep retrying the same MX.

Is there anything I can do to help the situation I am running Imail 8.15?  (Registry tweeks etc)     Ttyl,     Allen Armstrong
