It may be best to ignore that until (if) it gets fixed. IMail is supposed
to respond to SMTP connections with "220 hostname...", but instead it
responds with "220 X1 hostname..." or similar. It's been doing this for
years, so it's unlikely that there will be many serious consequences of the
"X1" hostname.

I believe that you would need to have an abuse@ account on each domain; I
don't think there is a way with IMail to have an abuse@ account that would
automatically apply to all the domains.
