We ended up putting in another box to process outbound email separate from the inbound IMGate boxes. It was quick, easy and cheap.
Imail doesn't let us do redundant smart hosts anyway, so there's no need for more than one outbound box. If the outbound server goes down we'll just let the Imail box handle outbound delivery.

We also use the IMGate machine for outbound mail delivery so the IMail machine doesn't have to deal with that. We want to do a store and forward through our IMail machine so customers with their own (Exchange) servers can run their inbound mail through our IMGate, Declude JunkMail and Declude Virus systems. To store and forward with IMail, they say to use a host file. IMail will look at the host file before looking at DNS and send the mail according to the host file. But, if we're delivering outbound email through the IMGate server, we assume IMail never looks at the host file. It just delivers straignt to the smart host. Since IMGate needs to deliver inbound mail to the IMail server, we can't point the customer's mail to their server in IMgate. Are there any options besides adding a dedicated outbound mail server?
