yes, you can send mail to @test.hmweb.com but since test.hmweb.com is 
another machine, but you need another A record :

test.hmweb.com.    A   ip.ad.re.ss  ; of Imail test machine

and then in Imail create a virtual mailhost test.hmweb.com.

Mail addressed to  @test.hmweb.com will be sent to ip.ad.re.ss of Imail, 
where Imail will accept it for its local mailhost of test.hmweb.com.
