Imail hacks
Found another imail hack today. Somehow my imail IP address for the primary host was listed on an ip that is not on my box, or so I thought. Later one of the techs told me it is on my box and that it is a backup ip and that IP would probably have gotten selected when I installed the latest version of Imail. So, I uninstalled and reinstalled Imail and doesn't seem like this was the case. Actually it looked like there may have been a secondary or virtual host set up and pointing to this IP. I don't see how that could have gotten there in the manner the tech was suggesting. (Microsoft's #1 managed hosting company and they support imail so you'd think they would be up on this kind of thing).
