If you are using Method 2, and the computers have the following addresses and names:
ISP's IP address : 156.21.50.1
ISP's domain name: isp_are_us.com
IMail Server IP address: 156.21.50.240
IMail Server Name: my_imail_machine
you would make the following entries in the \winnt\system32\drivers\hosts file:
156.21.50.240 my_imail_machine
156.21.50.240 isp_domain_name.com
You can have multiple names pointing to the same IP address. This also helps if your computer is receiving mail for multiple domains. Place each domain name in the hosts file, pointing to the IMail Server computer's IP address.
