Actually, it's very common for spammers to start at your lower priority MX records. It makes sense for exactly the reason you specified. Companies rarely put the expensive anti-spam software on their secondary MX relays. Ed recommended using a relay to HOLD the mail until the primary is available again. This method works great provided that most of your filtering is not done by RBL/SPAM listings (because the source IP has changed.) -Kevin _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
