SIMS as an MX server in front of ASIP Mail Server?

[Larry Niebur]

Hi,

I've never used an MX server, but I'm wondering if I could use SIMS as an MX server ahead of an AppleShare IP (ASIP) mail server in one of my schools to try and skim off Spam before it gets to the ASIP server.

Is anyone doing something like that?

We would rather not re-enter all the accounts into another server.

Are MX servers simply configured to send/forward all mail via another server?

Larry
