1. No, you don't change the MX record for this domain. IMAIL will provide
the SMTP and other mail services for all IPs.
2. Yes, IMAIL will take care of pop3 etc.
On the next question, if you enable IIS-SMTP, it will conflict with IMAIL...
so you should not do this. It is _possible_ to get both services running on
the same box, but it is complicated and prone to problems.
---
The reason you get errors from the wizards when building email response
forms etc is because the wizard is expecting IIS-SMTP to be in place. Some
of these features can be fixed by making adjustments to set up files (for
front page etc), but some will simply not work without IIS-SMTP because they
are built-in.
