It works for all Imgate users, afaik.  Nobody has complained about "Imail 
send all to gateway" not working.

mail for Imail should stop at imail, and never be relayed out to the 
gateway ip, period.

Your gateway will of course find resolve the @Imaildomains to the ip of 
Imail, and send it to Imail. Imail should see that the recipient mail is 
local to Imail and deliver.  Imail should never relay it out again.

try it again briefly, and let's see the gdeliver lines from Imail where 
Imail  is sending localdomain out of the Imail, that would really be a bug.
