Yes this is possible and I would recommend it. Imail is a great web and POP3 server but it lacking for SMTP. I would suggest using Sendmail or Qmail as your SMTP mail gateway. You can list multiple gateways by using a hostname and have that hostname resolve to 2 IP's. Thus creating a DNS load share.
