Thanks Tom.

That seems like a good idea, but we have found a catch.

Say if one of our customers sends to one of our own domains.  The mail
server they relay through is the same one that hosts the destination
domain.  So their mail would be delivered locally and never get scanned.

I can't change that 'mail' A record which the customer's pcs reference to
point to another box, as the same name is used for POP3 and IMAP.

And I would prefer to keep the scanner on the existing box, as it is
fairly big box (cpu & ram), I don't have another box so large on hand.

Cheers,
Corey
