The way we're currently configured, we have Junkmail running on iMail just as an inbound filter. All inbound SMTP traffic hits iMail/Junkmail and is then forwarded to our Exchange server. All outbound SMTP traffic (from Exchange) is sent directly from Exchange to the host and that's where SPEWS is hitting is. I'd like to forward all outbound SMTP traffic from Exchange back to iMail and then have iMail act as the SmartHost.
