For direct incoming delivery to mail addresses your own domain, yes:
as it is with any SMTP server.
However, if you just want Server for the IMAP side of the mail
service, i.e. somewhere to stash mail locally so you can remove it
from dependence on an ISP's IMAP service, Server is happy to turn on
its "Mail" service with nothing but a private IP (192.168.*, 10.*
etc.) and never receive mail via SMTP. That's a bit wasteful of
resources (i.e. you're running Postfix for no reason...) but it does
give one a working Dovecot IMAP instance without having to read the
copious Dovecot docs to figure out how much of it is entirely unneeded
for a trivial deployment.
That sounds useful thanks, and with that knowledge I'm inclined to do
battle with OS X Server again :-)
