Yes, you can get away with and yes I think it is sort of permitted -
certainly for receive , tho they will get uppity if you try to send spam
thru it. The other downfall is BY residential IP's are on a lot of spam
blackholes and half your mail will be bounced anyway!

Exim is quite good, only bug I can see (which may not be Exim) is that
Imap  is fast from Windows clients but slow from Linux boxes - not quite
sure where the hic-cup is with this.
Oh 'Imap server', Exim of course being a mailserver, not sure quite what
you mean by 'Imap server' , imap being handled by Imap which is a
default on my redhat boxes - not quite sure if there are other flavours?
