Klint, Spam levels have recently gotten so high that my gateways were getting overwhelmed. So I have recently set up two IMS servers to receive email directly from the internet using smtprcv so that right off the bat I can reject emails to invalid addresses, thereby reducing my incoming email load by 40%. So these two servers ARE my new gateways, and where I'd like to run the spam trap. However, I do have two backup MX servers that could very possibly send messages to these two IMS servers, and it is these backup MX servers I want to whitelist against being barred by the spam trap.
