6.2.17 Gate

Syntax:

Gate what

Examples:

Gate Zones

Gate Domains

Gate Both

The what parameter to the Gate keyword specifies if MsgEd TE should do zone gating (Gate Zones), domain gating (Gate Domains), or both (Gate Both). This has nothing to do with internet gateways.

Domain gating is explained in detail in the section about the Domain keyword (see section 6.2.10 Domain).

Zone gating works like this: If you write a mail to a different zone and zone gating is enabled, the mail will not be addressed to the receiver in the other zone, but it will be addressed to that zone's zone gate (which also has an address inside your own zone). The address of the true receiver will be encoded in an @INTL kludge line.

I strongly recommend to at least enable zone gating, because I found that it is the only way to really reliable route inter-zone netmail. (In that point, I object the original MsgEd documentation's author's opionion).
