If you have to bind it to an outside IP address to be able to send mail, then it 
sounds like a firewall issue.  The firewall does not seem to be recognizing the 
internal address (10.10.10.10).

If you bind it to the internal address (where you say that IMail can't send mail), can 
you do *anything* on the Internet?  Can you get to an external web site or telnet 
somewhere?

If the firewall is set up the way I am familiar with (the machine has an IP of 
10.10.10.10 that is internal only, it sends traffic to the firewall which changes the 
IP address to 12.12.12.12 which is an external address reachable by the Internet), 
then IMail shouldn't know or care what the external IP address is.  If it has to use 
it, then the firewall isn't doing its job.
