Uh-huh,

No.

In some situations, absolutely. In yours, it's probably a legacy of an
earlier  setup.  BUT,  since you don't know whether you're using it or
not, do a lot of testing before you remove it permanently.

> What exactly does the Gate host do?

It performs the actual delivery of your mail to its final destination,
if so selected, rather than having the IMail server perform end-to-end
delivery. Read the manual and on-line help.
