that's why you should have a differnt host.domain.com for each service.

you set the mail client's 'outgoing smtp server" for
smtp.domain.com which is Imail.

it's very simple. SMTP AUTH relay mail from Imail users must be sent
only to imail since only Imail knows users/passwords. MX's are
pointed at IMgate so other mail servers send their mail to Imgate who
will only accept the mail for relay to Imail for those Imails you put
into imgate/postfix's relayed_domains file.
This separation/specialization of SMTP relay responsibilities is very
explicit in the diagrams on the Imgate site.
