The key of my idea: I don't even bother mail store server even if I am able to. The reason: why I have to give load to the mail store server to pass mails there which will be forwarded then back, if I can do the forward step before it, and save an extra round? Anyway, mail store server is even have too much load, since it also had POP3, IMAP, webmail tasks. So I only want to pass mails there which is really stored then, mails to be forwarded is not the case. There is no secrecy here :) actually it's CGP now, but planned to be replaced with PowerMail, as a mail store server does not need to do anything other just accept mails which can be stored locally then (as far as I know PowerMail does not even have queue, for example). No mail forwarding, etc. The reason I haven't mentioned the software for doing mail store server, since it's out of scope of the question as I want to "resolve" the forward issue before it, so it's not part of the topic too much. But I gave you more details anyway, since you thought it's a secret or so :)
