Of course Imail will accept mail addressed to a local recipient. It doesn't matter if the sender is local or not. How do you expect to get email otherwise? SMTP auth will require a user account and pass to send mail to EXTERNAL domains. Thus preventing you from relaying for anyone else. Setup an IMgate or use Declude junkmail if you want to alleviate Spam getting to your domains.
