I've been through the manual and Knowledge Base and haven't been able to 
locate the information I'm looking for.

We are running IMail 6.06 (Will be upgrading to 7.x soon) and have just 
completed activation for Postini. For those of you who don't know Postini, 
we direct our MX records to their servers and they scan inbound email for 
viruses and spam, block dictionary attacks, mail bombs, etc. It's a very 
slick service.

However, I'd like to if possible redirect messages that come in via SMTP on 
our IMail server that have not passed through Postini's servers to Postini. 
All messages that pass through Postini get some "X-postinispam*" headers.

Logically, if a message comes in without any "X-postinispam*" headers, it 
would be redirected to Postini, even if the message has a local destination 
address.

In concept, it sounds pretty simple. However, I've not figured a way to do 
it purely with IMail. I've been searching and I haven't found any sort of 
SMTP relay programs that will do this. I could write something, but I'm not 
at all familiar with the format of the queue control files. I know I can 
insert a program into the delivery chain prior to SMTP32 being called, but 
can that program modify the Qxxxxxxx.SMD file to instruct SMTP32 to relay 
the message to another host instead of delivering the message locally?

I think I've come up with a method to avoid the potential of causing a 
dangerous mail loop.

Thoughts, anyone?
