Hi, I apologize if this question has been asked a thousand times before (it undoubtedly has). I searched the archive and couldn't seem to find the keywords to find the relevant answer.
Our main Imail server is using a lot of CPU right now. In addition to Imail, we're running Declude Virus and our own custom spam filter on this box. We decided that we would like to offload the spam and virus filtering to a separate gateway Imail server. As far as we can tell, this is possible. In this configuration, we figured if a customer tries to send mail out of our main mail server, we'll have Imail gateway the message out to the Spam/virus box and then out to the Internet (and vice versa for incoming mail). We have come across a situation that we can't seem to easily solve using this configuration. If a local user sends email to another local user, the mail would never go out through the spam/virus box (it would all stay within the main Imail server) and it would be possible for our users to infect each other with a virus. Is there an easy way around this? If we can't find an easy solution, we thought we might simply route SMTP requests away from our main mail server and to the gateway spam/virus server so that local mail would still get a virus check. We think this will work, but we hate to add another level of hardware into the system.
