no. The MX resolves to the ip of Imail. Imail will sort out the
"RCPT TO: @recipientdomain" from there on in.
Having simplified your MX's, you should "complicate" your hosts:
@ MX imail.ISPdomain.com
mail MX imail.ISPdomain.com
mail A ip.Imail
smtp A ip.Imail
pop A ip.Imail
imap A ip.Imail
webmail A ip.Imail
and have your users enter those "functional" host names into their
mail pgms now so later when you become ISPzilla and have different
machines+ip's for those different functions, your users won't have to
touch their pgms.

set imail web msg to listen on port:80
in DNS:
@ A ip.imail
webmail A ip.imail

RTFM, or at least hit F1 !!!!! when on the Imail "SMTP Security"
panel (GUI's are nice like that, no?), but I've calmed down now and
wil give you a hint: "relay for addresses"
