SMTPD32 receives incoming messages over the SMTP protocol, whether
destined for local or remote domains. Messages submitted using other
protocols, such as those from Web Messaging, do not go through
SMTPD32.

In 7.1x and lower versions, yes. In 8.x, SMTP32 isn't even used at all
unless there's a message filter such as Declude installed, and even
then it's just a tiny shim to get stuff to Queue Mgr, which is the
replacement delivery app.

As above.
