It's impossible. :(

You can add a single host name, by using something like "example.com IMail
server". But, IMail still adds the "X1" in there, making it something like
"200 X1 example.com IMail server".

There shouldn't be many hackers out there targeting IMail, but on the other
hand, a lot of people don't like advertising any more information than they
have to.
