Users require web and pop3/imap access...

Do I need to set the smtp security to relay for local hosts only,

for ip's and subnets only, is usually better.

and add
the IP of my mail server?

in that list, you have to choose one radio button. "relay for addresses"

Or will this cut off use for the pop3/imap access people?

only if they are logging into / roaming to an ip for mail transactions that is not in your "relay for" list.  They then have to use "SMTP AUTH" in their SMTP mail client setup. This usually is acceptable when you tell them it's for your and their own security, anti-spam, etc, etc.

and I'm doing something wrong ... read the manual...

what are the symptoms of your DNS virtual domain wrongness?

whatever, in the zone file for the new domain for which you are creating the Imail virtual domain:

(assuming you're running BIND8 for NT, yes?)

@       IN   MX   5   mail.virtdomain.com
@       IN   MX   10  mail.backupmailomain.com

@       IN   A    <ip-address of mail.virtdomain.com>
