Check your DNS server in the IMail SMTP settings. Make sure it is returning valid answers to your queries. This also looks like you are running an older version of IMail as there shouldn't be any "stack connect fails" for any mail destined to a domain that has MX records. This however would also be caused by not getting a valid return form the DNS IMail is talking to. If you have multiple DNS addresses in the SMTP DNS Address field try using only one known good one.
