The answer is yes. You can scan other domains frm your box.
The mx points to you. You put an smtproute that points to their server
and you add the domain to rcpthosts.

The problem is going to be double bounces. Since your box doesn't have
a list of valid users, it will accept any mail addressed to
companyx..com. If a [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't exist, your box will get
a rejection which it will try to send to the sender. Since this is
usually spam, the sender address probably won't exist and you will be
notified of the transaction.

Hello all,

I hope this is the right board for this query.  We are using the latest
Qmailtoaster install on a Fedora core 5 box.
Currently all email domains that we host are very successfully scanned by
clamav and spamassassin.  My boss has asked if
we would be able to offer the scanning service to emails that we don't
technically host.

Now all I can tell him at this point, is we would need to have company 
x's
mx record pointing at our server, but from there
I'm lost.

Is it possible, to scan company x's mail, (even though we don't hold 
their
domain, or host their email),  and then pass the mail on to their 
servers?
My first instinct was that this should be quiet possible, 
unfortunately, I'm
still relatively new to qmail and spamassassin, so I don't know where to
start.

Any help you boffins can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Craig

Hey Craig,
Would you mind updating the wiki with this one? It may not be asked 
frequently, but it's a cool feature. Might want to add a short Q&A to the 
faqs, with possibly a separate section w/in spamassassin configuration.
