Have you created an ODBC system DSN already ? If not, pls proceed to Control
Panel and create one that points to the Emerald database in SQL Server.

Can you send me a copy of the log file so I can better help you ?

I don't fully understand this question. Pls elaborate.

What do you mean by "reload EmerAuth" ?

In my case, since EmerAuth and IMail were installed on the same machine, the
path I specified was C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\EmerAuth.dll

Pls make sure that you have the correct EmerAuth.dll . There was a time I
saw 2 such DLL's and the one that worked was the on in the WINNT\SYSTEM32
directory.

Ah, there's the problem. The domain name pertained to in Emerald Admin is an
internet domain name, not an NT domain name. As such, please specify
saint.iamnow.net as the domain in Emerald Admin.

Then send a test email to someone@saint.iamnow.net

Can you perhaps get a second NT machine and install IMail and EmerAuth on it
? This way you don't have to interrupt your existing operations.
