Indeed. We are using the Microsoft SMTP service as our secondary because it comes with the operating system and assures, for very low cost and overhead, that email are at least stored until our primary is up and running. Sure, I'd love to knock spam down as they came into our secondary, but it's a small thing. Since Declude permits us to treat messages coming through the secondary the same as email coming directly to the primary, it's a good tradeoff. If we had tons of money, we'd probably have spam and antivirus control on all mail servers. Of course, if we had that much money, we'd probably be looking at a whole different suite of products as well. -- A.
