Weird construction. (^-^) Why not poll the Server of Company A directly? The trouble with forwarding is, that different methods of determining spam might lead to blocking, if Company B considers the server of Company A as a source of spam. >> If you want to set up your own server the basic setup for >> Postfix/Cyrus is relatively simple. > > I still see a lot of traffic on this list from people with problems! > They're ably helped by you and others but it still looks like more > hassle than I'd like :( Of course. I only said that the basic setup is relatively easy. I didn't say anything about troubleshooting.

I'll investigate this - it sounds like what I'm looking for. It's definitely a better choice than to start your own server without knowing much about SMTP and IMAP. One caveat is that I simply don't trust Google to handle my data. They are a business in the first place, so they have to get some value out of it in a currency you don't see at first glance. -- Sandy List replies only please!
