Hi George
"real box" is of course scanning aswell
Just the frontend smtps are very powerfull machines to handle most of the scanning (we do get a lot of mails) the machine hosting mailboxes isnt as powerful but of course scans any email not originating from the diff smtps

Thx for your concern though :)
Cheers
-Philip

Actually
it is more :
incoming : internet -> scanners -> real box
if all scanners are down, internet -> real box (lowest mx priority)
outgoing : realbox -> internet (on that setup, customers email arent scanned, we "trust" them in a way :) )

I just want to point out that by listing your "real box" as an mx and not having scanning on it you're going to get spammed hard. I used to run a similar setup a couple of years ago and spammers love to go after lower priority mx servers (higher numbers) because they think it's less likely you have scanning on it. Your "real server" is going to get targeted by the spammers and bypass the other ones.

George.
