yep, IF they don't succed with SMTH AUTH they can't relay through your Imail.

no, IMail SMTP AUTH has been frustratingly flaky, combined with
variations in how the browsers do SMTP AUTH. Ipswitch made some
progress with SMTP AUTH in 6.04 but they are not all the way there,
and that remains your best chance today. 6.05 will be the solution?
