Title: Customer wants to use contracted spam and virus from outside vendor

Usually what you would do for this scenario is have the customers MX records point to the 3rd party spam filtering service and than have them forward the mail to your server where the actual accounts exist after the spam/virus detection occurs.   Darrell ------------------------------------------- Check out http://www.invariantsystems.com for utilities for Declude And Imail.  IMail Queue Monitoring, Declude Overflow Queue Monitoring, SURBL/URI integration, MRTG Integration, and Log Parsers. ----- Original Message ----- From: Plato, Art To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 11:34 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] Customer wants to use contracted spam and virus from outside vendor I have a customer who wants all of their outbound email to be redirected to an outside SMTP for spam and virus filtering. Their domain is a Virtual on my server with it's own IP on my server. I tried to accomplish this with a rule that states if the sender is @domain.com or sender is . (help stated that period is a wildcard) redirect to contracted server. If they send me an email it comes directly to me without hitting their contracted server. I'm guessing this is because both domains reside on the same server. Is this outbound rule the right way to accomplish redirecting their outbound email to their contracted server, and if not, what is the best way to accomplish this? TIA, Art Plato.
