Yes that's correct. The certificate on the BlackBerry is used for the encrypted and signed S/MIME tunnel between the BlackBerry and the gateway. When an email sent with Djigzo for BlackBerry is received by the Djigzo gateway, and the user is allowed to relay, the gateway will then forward the message to the final recipient. Whether the forwarded message is again encrypted (with S/MIME or PDF) is up to the Digzo gateway settings. The main advantage of this setup is that all certificate management can be done on the gateway.
