Tks Len,
Actually in this case the IMail to IMail transfer is priviliged delivery, ie
my connection between my base country and the two specific countires we are
considering are substantially better than public routing.
Most of the mail I am concerned about is generated from a database so if
IMail cant do it directly it is probable that I can program the database to
look at the detination email address and connect to different IMail servers.
I though there might be a simpler route.. but not to worry..

You can't do that with Imail. At the server level, Imail delivers
either to the DNS MX of any domain or to a single next-hop gateway
machine for all domains. This is a per-Imail parameter, not a
per-ccTLD parameter. ("country code Top Level Domain")
>Both servers are under the same domain but located in different countries
So they must be Imail proprietary peers? but even that is for
delivering per-Imail-peered--domain, not per-ccTLD.

Simple idea, "virtual private delivery circuit", but Imail can't do
it. see above.

well, whether your local Imail sends to your remote Imail over there
or to any mail server over there, the Internet paths (and pb's)
should be identical. ie, your Imail-here to Imail-there delivery is
not privileged delivery vs your Imail-here to anyserver-there.
I "might" be able to do what you want to do but it would require the
more sophisticated mail routing options of IMGate, and one IMGate for
both sites, to create an "IMGate-to- IMGate tunnel". Contact me
privately if you want me to investigate this.
