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:

==== cut ====

    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"...
