You will, Adrian, you will. If not "in theory" now, in practice
later, when iMS is getting hammered with incoming AND AND
outgoing. You will be deliriously happy to offload at LAN speed from
iMS to a dedicated POST relay hub. SQL server will not have to do DNS
lookups and will not have to battle with deliveries to internet.

It's pretty clear you have no idea of the problems you will, not
might, but will have when you try to scale to 100K or 200K mailboxes'
traffic in/out on SQL server.
The other pb, here I'm less certain but not by much less, will be
that web msging on CF won't scale for sh@t. It's very hard to say
which of your two boxes will box you in first, but have your escape
route planned carefully.
Do you or Howie have any knowledge of anybody who has done
large-scale web messaging on CF into iMS?
What protocol will Web Messaging box use to talk to the mailboxes on
iMS? POP3? or just MS Networking shares into the iMS box?
