A gateway is responsible for delivering messages to the correct recipient. This usually involves translating between address types. For outgoing messages, your gateway must ensure that recipient addresses are in a form that is compatible with the foreign system. For incoming messages, the gateway must be able to translate recipient addresses from the format of the foreign system into proxy addresses. The gateway can look up the proxy addresses in the Microsoft® Exchange global address list (GAL).
