Hi, Mail Gateway is another best choice; Mail Gateway takes care of Spam filtering, Anti-virus checking, Mail Relay and Filtering. Mail Gateway redirects the 'processed mails' to Internal Mail Server for distribution through Firewall. Outgoing Mails will be going directly to outside through firewall, after undergone Anti-virus Checking in inside LAN.
