I only run one email server, IMail v8.01, but I have McAffee Webshield email virus scanner running on the same server, and you're right, in incoming mail, the message first goes through the McAffee Webshield (port 25), then it gets passed onto to Imail (port 1025) and then it gets passed on to the user eventually.
When a user sends an email out, the message hits Imail and then leaves our network bypassing McAffee Webshield.
So, now that you know all this, does it look normal to you?
Yes, it does look normal. :)
The client port as shown in the log file isn't really important. In some cases it may give you a clue as to the volume of mailserver that connects to you (if they connect more than once), but that's about it.
To get technical, though, you actually are running two mailservers -- WebShield SMTP does include its own mailserver. For example, all your anti-relay settings must be handled by WebShield (since IMail sees the local IP address).
