Dave,

I  like  your  suggestion,  but  I  think  it has a couple of inherent
vulnerabilities.

> All mail destined for your domain is delivered to Imail first.

Except  then  you don't have a backup mail spooler (active-active MXs)
and  you  have  a single point of failure for all mail, dangerous if a
wayward student finds a way to bring down IMail.

> ALL  mail  from  your  domain  is  delivered to the Internet through
> Imail,  as  it  does  an arguably better job at delivering mail than
> Exchange.

Wouldn't  want  to  take that side in an argument, especially not when
you're  talking  about  taking  away  users'  direct connection to the
Internet and routing them through a loaded IMail server.

> (plus you can scan outgoing with Declude still)

Definitely  allows  for  an  inexpensive  anti-virus  solution, but is
useless   for   intra-Exchange  mail.  Especially  in  an  educational
environment, I would want to protect ALL mail, so you would still need
to  run  something  on  Exchange--albeit  with  a lower user count for
licensing.
