Maybe he meant a gateway? For Imail to be safe from this its smtp service cannot be open to the internet unless you are running 2006.1, there must be something else answering the smtp connections from the world (internet). That something should also be doing recipient validation and block relaying at the very least. That way this exploit would never reach Imail to compromise it. Then you only have to worry about your gateway being compromised, lol.
