   Sorry Paul, but not true. You just cannot see it happening until you check   
   packets that are leaving from your system.   
      
   I investigated this, and it is also documented in fastecho.doc:

       When your system acts  as outbound zonegate you  may need to  strip   
   addressed out-of-zone.  FastEcho  is  capable  to  do  that  simply  by   
   enabling this feature (which is disabled by default). This can be  done   
   by using the flag ZONEGATE  in FEOPT. In any  case FastEcho acts as  an   
   processing EchoMail coming from another zone.

   Just read the "in any case"...
