Thanks for idea but it won't work for me as 'internal domains' can be  
anything, including gmail.com (and i don't know which of them are  
really internal/local, this is decided by sending SMTP everytime  
something is sent, based on MX records). Problem is that Dovecot/Sieve  
is using wrong SMTP server (one used for receiving e-mails which  
should NEVER be used for sending [and is never is, except sieve]).
