Let me know how you go. I'd like to know if I just got lucky and fluked it or if it what I did will work for others as well.

And we had ruralpress.com setup as an alias. However, that caused one ongoing problem: - Whenever a new email account was created the reply to address would read <user>@rplemail.ruralpress.com. If this wasn't changed back to @ruralpress.com, emails sent from Webmail by that user would appear to come from @rplemail.ruralpress.com. And because the domain rplemail.ruralpress.com doesn't exist, mail would bounce if it was replied to (yes I know we could have setup a subdomain of ruralpress.com but....that's not the ideal solution in my books). So, I backed up the Imail Registry and the user data and then uninstalled Imail. I did a Find and Replace on the registry file to change any instances of "rplemail.ruralpress.com" to "ruralpress.com". Then I installed Imail and made the OHN of the Primary Domain ruralpress.com. Then once installed I stopped all the services, imported the registry file back in, started the services, copied back the user data (the lists and users folders and the rules.ima file). Started all the services again and Imail was none the wiser. All my users and lists were there. It all worked. It hasn't broken anything apart from a few custom scripts we have running every night that were looking for the old domain name. But those were minor things. And yes, the server greetings will now be from "taisweb.net" ... I just checked mine and they have all changed to be just ruralpress.com. Hope this helps.

I do not want to receive email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (because this requires me to keep 2 sets of configuration files for Declude), I want it to come to [EMAIL PROTECTED] only. If I change my OHN to taisweb.net, does this then cause the server to identify itself as "taisweb.net" in the server greeting? If so, can it be overridden? What else will it break?
