The extra traffic caused by this is miniscule - only the initial hit to webmail.domain.com (before the user even gets to the login page) goes to port 80, everything else goes directly to 8383. If you need port 80 for any other sites, you pretty much have to run imail on something else, because imail listens on all addresses. Sandy posted an option to get around this if running Windows 2000. It's sort of ugly, but may be an option. Basically it involves starting email, dynamically adding a new IP address, then starting IIS before iMail grabs the new IP. Search the archives for the step by step. Other options iinclude redirecting traffic at your router/firewall, or use some reverse-proxy tricks.
