I found the email error problem. For some reason when I changed the Vsite 

to another IP address and removed the alias from the GUI, in System 

Settings - TCP/IP - Interface aliases, it removed the default gateway 

setting for the server. As soon as I ran ./network_settings.sh from shell 

and added back the missing default gateway, mail started flowing. So it 

appears that, at times, the GUI does more than it should. I just don't 

think those 2 changes would remove the gateway settings. But what do I 

know:)
