Howie,
Thanks for the response. How can I tell why the Smart Delivery is failing? It says
it fails and keeps re-sending the mail even thought it is being delivered on each
attempt. There are no errors anywhere that I can see. ???

Smart delivery never cared about a result string, in fact you had to guard against
non-delivery within the SD template because POST would just hand off the transaction
w/out checking that it succeeded. But in any case, I can see the result=accept in my
output string, so that's not it.
As for the DNS, here's why I think so. I'm testing using a domain name I made up
(private.wdg), and I run a local DNS server on my LAN so that private.wdg domains can
be resolved. The system DNS settings on the test server point to 1) a real DNS server
on the 'net and 2) my local DNS server that serves private.wdg. The DNS setting in
iMS was always pointed to the local DNS. This used to work fine pre v2.1. When I
tried 2.1, POST at first reported no DNS entry for "private.wdg". In fact I sniffed
some traffic on the WAN and I see iMS is asking my remote DNS server to resolve the
host name, even though that one is not specified in iMS settings. The remote server
cannot resolve "private.wdg" so POST reported an error (it did not go on to check the
local DNS at all). Then I switched the order in which the DNS servers are specified
in the system settings (so my local one comes first). iMS then could look up the
private.wdg domain w/out problem. The only explanation I can see for that is that iMS
is (somewhat) using the system settings, but perhaps there's something else going on?
Thanks,
-Max
