Really? Completely disabled rather than just disabled in terms of being an open
relay (which is clearly very bad)?
A friend of mine is an Exchange admin and this is what he told me. In
fact I personally was a victim, er.. benefactor of this security policy.
Basically MS views anything that doesn't use their own protocol (MAPI)
as a "security vulnerability".

MAPIAppender would make sense (although it would have to be native, of course) but
unless I'm much mistaken, IMAP doesn't allow posting of messages - it's reading (and
moving and creating messages within folders) only.
I may have spoke too soon. I do not know enough about IMAP, so I can't
say for sure whether it allows posting.
