So then what's the recommended way to run a POST server on a machine that's not also your email server without being blacklisted by domains who perform reverse DNS lookups?

I don't understand the > significance of the sendingIP attribute then. The significance is that iMS asks the OS to use that specified IP address. However, the OS can override the request. For example - say you have a server with two NICs. One is using an internal subnet and the other is connected to the internet. You send mail to a server on the net and request that the OS use IP 10.1.1.5 as the sending IP. The OS would override that and use an IP on the other NIC. I know this is an extreme example but it illustrates that iMS is requesting an IP. BTW - the only way to see if the IP you want is actually being requested is to look in the log file. > Is there any way to guarantee > that the OS IP address is never referenced in emails that iMS sends? > There is no way to guarantee the IP that the OS selects, if that's what you mean.
