I did not say 'no' MX record. I simply point the MX record
to the Imail machine. Only the Imail machine is aware of the
presence of the IP address in the hosts file. Their firewall
is blocking any port 25 traffic except from our server. So
no outside parties can send directly to their server.
Of course this is another reason I would like to have filtering
on mail we forward to them.
