Looks like I'm pretty much out of luck.
>>????? you're running your fw and imail on the same machine?
Yup! We're using a software firewall. We're a non-profit with very limited
resources, so we have only 1 production server. It runs everything.
Thanks,

Imail listens on all ip's it finds in the tcp/ip stack. It writes
the ip's to imail's registry, so if you delete ip's from tcp/ip, you
must manually delete from Imail registry, see KB.

you can't, Imail will grab port :25 (or whatever you tell it to
listen on) for all ip's in the machine. You can't have Imail listen
on :25 for some ip's, and MS SMTP listen on :25 for other
ip's. Imail takes them all at the defined port.

yep

nope
