There is a 2-part answer to this one ("You are both right").
IMail needs the entry in the HOSTS file, as per the manual and KB (and, as
you say, if anyone has tested and found otherwise, please post your results
here).
On the other hand, many mailservers use the preferred method by knowing
which MX record they are, and only trying ones with lower preference
value. In this case, a HOSTS file wouldn't be necessary, and there would
be no mail loop.
