I have a voice mail system that wants to send imap messages with attached voice mail recordings to Domino users inbox. The administrator wants to restrict inbound imap connections to just that machine. All the users will be using standard notes clients. None are using IMAP to retrieve messages. Most of the documentation refers to IMAP clients which does not apply.

Sure?
Your voicemail system sends messages via IMAP to Domino? Strange!
Normally you use IMAP to fetch mails from Domino. Sending should be SMTP.

Subject: IMAP is neither a message format, nor a transmission protocol
It’s a communication standard used by a client to retrieve messages, a much-updated version of POP3. What you’re talking about is inbound SMTP.
If you want your voicemail system to only point to one server, that’s pretty obvious - you only tell it about that one server. Just bear in mind that the message won’t be ‘delivered’ until it reaches the users designated home server via mail routing.
If you don’t want users to retrieve messages via IMAP off of given servers, simply don’t run the IMAP process on those servers. Since you have all Notes clients and no IMAP clients, sounds like you don’t need to run it anywhere.
