Ahem... you're right, with the exception of webmail. I jumped the gun because I tested this from webmail and got odd results. I configured a domain without peering and tried to send a message to a user that wasn't on my local server. Sure enough it tried to deliver [EMAIL PROTECTED] to my gateway server. The option "send all mail through remote gateway" allows this from webmail.

Although I'm sure you'll agree this isn't very efficient use of resources. Peering with IMGate would still be an interesting option, but the advantage over regular IMail peering isn't clear (with the exception of the worst case many node all same MX pref, all across a WAN). > What would be presented by IMail peer to IMgate as the envelope > recipient? [EMAIL PROTECTED] (fine for IMGate) or [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? For example... your message was received as...
