Correct.  I'm sure you can appreciate why.  On average, utgpu handles
~3000 message a day.  One evening I decided to poke through the logs to
see what the traffic pattern was.   I was surprised to see that for that
particular day, only 20% of the traffic was either to or from a UofT mailbox,
the rest was gatewayed mail.  Naturally that covered only a single 24 hour
period, but the discovery was interesting nonetheless.
