It's Hammer Time.

For incoming traffic, DNS counts.  Incoming will arrive on the ip of the 
hostname in DNS (pop.domain.com).

For outgoing:

http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-19990204-ES01.htm sez:

"SMTP32 binds the sending socket to the IP address of the sending domain".

So the in/out traffic will be distributed across the ip's.

But I really don't think Imail can saturate a 10 megabit interface, let 
alone a 100 megabit i/f.

Of course, he first needs to have clear 10 or 100 megabit link to internet.

But the root problem is the disk bandwidth:  to saturate a 10-megabit 
interface, he needs to read/write his mail queue directory at 100 
megabytes/sec.  About the same chance as getting a speech from sherrif "the 
Enron president" shrub pitched above kindergarten level ...
