He's suggesting that mail sent direct-to-mx from arbitrary university IP addresses is unlikely to be trustworthy. I presume that when the OP said our "entire network is on the blacklist", he meant that the university has put everything but it's own mailservers, into the Policy Blocklist, and that he is trying to run an unofficial mailserver. As regards the original question, unless I missed an RFC or Microsoft implemented something proprietary, you can't send outgoing mail through IMAP. The normal solution to the problem is to configure sendmail to relay through a submission server.
