Check to see if you have "Auto-deny possible hack
attempts" checked.
iMail can "sense" a server trying to make too many
connections and then
permanently bans the IP address, until
re-boot/restart SMTP.
Happened to me.

Subject: [imail] Mail server blocking
certain IP addresses
Has anyone
encountered IMail blocking specific IP addresses from SMTP? They are not
IP addresses that were added to SMTP security to be blocked. These same
IP addresses can telnet to port 25 on another mail server, simply not the
IMail server. If the system is reassigned a different IP address, then
the user can send mail. If the blocked IP address is assigned to any
other system, then that system cannot send mail. We are having to
literally exlude these IP addresses from our DHCP pool so that noone else
leases that IP.
