Pete,

Was just wondering, I have all of my e-mail pass through an IMGate/Postfix
machine prior to hitting my main mail server. Sometimes, e-mail (especially
spam) gets forwarded from the secondary MX as well. If we use the POP method
of redirecting spam to an appropriate mailbox are you just going to be
scanning the messages for content, or inspecting the headers for IP
information as well?

Reason I'm asking is, I just want to make sure that one of my own servers
doesn't end up included in some type of blacklist rule. It seems like it
would take an awful lot of work on your part to ensure that any filters
don't contain IPs of one of your customer's machines, if you are scanning
header information. When you throw-in the fact that the redirect may come
from the client of an entirely different network with no link whatsoever to
our DNS records, that would seem to make taking any header information
(except maybe the Subject or From lines) into account a very risky
proposition. Thanks!!!
