Jeff,
Describe what you mean by 'work'! Do you mean that the mail was actually
delivered to the users account?
The only way IMail might accept email with a 'different' hostname or alias,
is when SMTP Security is set to 'Relay for Anyone'. With that, IMail will
accept any email, regardless of the username or domain name, but no
guarantee that IMail can actually deliver it to the destination. If it
cannot, it will eventually bounce back to the sender. If your test message
has not reached the user, I think you will find it in the Queue, with
multiple tries, or even 'looping' back to itself (depending on DNS/MX data).
A test here with different Relay settings (Addresses) showed that IMail
would not use the '*' character as a wildcard for the Alias. The message was
not accepted by SMTP ('not a gateway' response was observed) .
