Courier Imap allows the sending of mail from IMAP. I haven't tried this myself
so therefore cannot vouch for it.
This is a snip from the courier imap config file:
/usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd
##NAME: SENDMAIL:0
#
# If OUTBOX is defined, mail can be sent via the IMAP connection by
copying
# a message to the INBOX.Outbox folder. For all practical matters,
# INBOX.Outbox looks and behaves just like any other IMAP folder. If
this
# folder doesn't exist it must be created by the IMAP mail client, just
# like any other IMAP folder. The kicker: any message copied or moved
to
# this folder is will be E-mailed by the Courier-IMAP server, by running
# the SENDMAIL program. Therefore, messages copied or moved to this
# folder must be well-formed RFC-2822 messages, with the recipient list
# specified in the To:, Cc:, and Bcc: headers. Courier-IMAP relies on
# SENDMAIL to read the recipient list from these headers (and delete
the Bcc:
# header) by running the command "$SENDMAIL -oi -t -f $SENDER", with the
# message piped on standard input. $SENDER will be the return address
# of the message, which is set by the authentication module.
