OK, so if I WANT my server greeting to say mail.taisweb.net, is the
default overridden by the "Hello Message" field on the Advanced tab of
the SMTP properties?  This is for rdns.  Currently the rdns of
taisweb.net will point to the taisweb.net website, not the mail server.
If a server does rdns on the host in the HELO and requires that the two
match, we will fail unless we send mail.taisweb.net.

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.

Ta,

Interesting fix, I had been side stepping this problem for awhile by
changing the new user's reply-to address from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] but I may try your work around.

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Question about OHN

Dan,

The OHN of my mail server was "rplemail.ruralpress.com" as that was the
NETBIOS name of the server. 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.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Question about OHN

My primary domain's OHN is currently mail.taisweb.net, which is also the
"Windows" name of the server.  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?

TIA, Dan Horne
