The NT hosts file is used by Imail to decide whether to accept mail
for the default hostname (both domain.com and mail.domain.com, that's
just the Imaill works) and all relayed domains. It is also used by
Imail to know the "next-hop" ip address for relay domains.

More precisely, you're using the IMGate box as the DNS MX for domain.com.
