Yes, "wait" is how long it waits for a direct connection. It's a shame 
it can't be set to zero so it is guaranteed to wander off through the 
gateway. You can force it through the gate by using name6st instead 
of name@host but this means manually editing things. What I try to do 
is do an overseas email first. It can't resolve the host in a second 
so off it goes through the gate. If you have a uk host first then it 
resolves and your stuck with direct for the rest.

I tried a "tcp reset <address>" on a direct email once (it were 'uge 
it were) and was pleasantly surprised to find it broke the direct 
connection as I expected but then went on to send it to gate.
