Is DiscountASP using only 1 server for all the emails?
I've migrated to SmarterMail, and now all the email services (POP3, IMAP, SMTP, WebMail) are all pointing to the same IP!
Even the MX Record is pointing tosm04DOTinternetmailserverDOTnet(which is the same IP as the other services).
In the old system, even when the POP3 was slow/down, the IMAP was usually working.
I would expect that they would have seperate servers for the services, and to spread out the task between different machines.
Am I missing something, or had DiscountASP been drinking the SmarterMail kool-aid, and the are relying too much on that?
