Yes, because it's a local matter and it's explicitly avoided (or
prohibited?) in the Red/Blue Books, so I didn't know if anyone is doing it.
What I am looking for is WHICH ADMD or which country is doing it,
or will do it if a PRMD requests.

For example, the MTA is in UK which normally uses /C=UK/ADMD=Gold 400/
as part of its ORAddress. This MTA also serves as a gateway for the
Swiss branch office. Sender in the UK might address Swiss branch office
as /C=CH/ADMD=???/PRMD=XYZ. Gold 400 routes to Swiss ADMD. Company XYZ
has only one gateway MTA ins UK, so it would like Swiss ADMD to route
messages addressing /C=CH/ADMD=???/PRMD=XYZ to this MTA.

>Yes, as noted above, it is not preventable, and it is happening.

Can you give me some list, if possible, of who is doing it?
