This can be set up on the client.  Both Netscape and Outlook Express
have
the ability to set the IMAP mail folder.  I like to set this to
"mail".
This way, both pine and imapd use the same folders.

BTW, I plan on patching imap and pine a bit so that each mbox is
actually
a directory containing a file called ".messages" which actually
contains
the messages.  This will allow for folders that contain messages AND
other
folders. (Or something similar in implementation, I haven't decided
just
yet)  Is anyone interested in this?  Elsewise, I'm doing it for my
machine
alone.

Make sure that it is only acting as a relay for the people you WANT it
to
act as a relay for, and not for the whole of the internet.  Check the 
sendmail faq's etc.  I use qmail, and haven't had to mess with
sendmail
rules.  :)
