Here is one example using a site I know is running Imail:

unix# host Americon-usa.com
Americon-usa.com has address 66.70.120.192
Americon-usa.com mail is handled (pri=20) by backup.mx.datapipe.net
Americon-usa.com mail is handled (pri=10) by mail.Americon-usa.com

unix# telnet mail.Americon-usa.com 25
Trying 66.70.120.192...
Connected to mail.Americon-usa.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.americon-usa.com (IMail 7.15 14817-1) NT-ESMTP Server X1
quit
221 Goodbye


As you can see, it announces itself as Imail in its greeting. Their
site used to fail on our callouts; I have not tested it again
to see if they have fixed it.
