The only way I can think of to do it would be to set up a separate IP
address for the domain in question.

I figured.


Perhaps your solution isn't the best for the problem you're facing. What's the problem that this solution would solve? Some sort of security issue I'm
guessing. Might a VPN be a way to handle your requirement?

The situation is:

One particular client, who, even in spite of anti-spam measures, for whatever reason, receives an unimaginably ridiculous amount of spam, has opted to use one of those third-party anti-spam relays. The way it works is, the MX for that domain is set to the SMTP servers of the third party, and then the messages are forwarded to my toaster, sans whatever percentage of spam.

The issue is, even though the MXs are set to the third party's SMTP, many spammers still hit my toaster directly.

Does that make sense?

Hmm... Anyway, what it boils down to is, I just need to buckle down and bolster my own anti-spam measures.

Boy, email sucks. Sometimes, instead of trying to keep on bolting on new fixes, I think we need to scrap the entire system and build something new, from the ground up, designed for today's environment of misuse and distrust, rather than the environment of openness and community that the original email system was built for.

:) Thanks for the response.
