Thanks so much. I have made the changes. Things are working now. One of
the problems was with EIMS itself. I needed to add eastcoastassault.com
to the prefs. as well as mail.eastcoastassault.com
If I am running other domains on this server. What do I enter into QDNS
to have them share this mail server? What do I add to the EIMS settings?
Thanks,
Charles
