If I have a MX record with a president of 20 pointing to a Qmail toaster on my DMZ.

I also have a MX Record with a lower a priority of 10 where the host resided inside my secure LAN.

Let’s call my DMZ Qmail server- Mail Server ‘A’ and my Secure LAN Qmail server – Mail Server ‘B’

Server ‘B’ is secured by a firewall and is limited to accepting inbound connections only from Server ‘A’

(Internet source SMTP Mail) => (Server ‘A’) => (Server ‘B’)

I can get this architecture functioning at a basic level. My only hang-up is I would like Server ‘A’ to filter incoming email (i.e. spamassassin & a valid recipient check) before forwarding the mail onto Server ‘B’. I can get forwarding to work with no filtering done and I can filter without forwarding the email to another server. But I can’t seem to get them booth working at the same time. I either deliver locally after filtering or I forward and entire domain’s email blindly.

As far as I know, there's no easy way to do this without setting up a cluster-type system where the MySQL database would be shared, as well as a NFS share for the vpopmail directory. Sorry. You may be able to set Server A up with something like procmail and/or sendmail to process the messages before forwarding them on to Server B. This is a similar setup to what another division of our company does for their Exchange server utilizing LDAP for address lookups, and spam filtering before being delivered to the Exchange machine.
