Unless you have coded any exceptions into your mimedefang-filter such as "if the IP address of the relay host is that of the Exchange server, then skip this test", then yes, all mail will be scanned, in both directions.

I have my mimedefang gateway ready to go but I wanted some advice before I put it live. The setup is as follows: mail coming in is forwarded from the firewall to the mimedefang gateway which will then relay the mail on to an exchange server for local delivery. On the way out the exchange is using a smart host to pass the mail to the mimedefang gateway and then out to the world at large. I just want to check, Will the mimedefang gateway perform all of the scanning on the mail that is to be relayed? Both incoming and outgoing? Also I am not a sendmail expert, is there anything that you can point out to me as 'obvious mistakes' not to make when relaying through sendmail. I don't want to inadvertently become a spammer myself. Many thanks, Andrew Jayes _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
