Implementing per domain scanning

What if the MailScanner box was in the DMZ and all mail going in and out
of a network was going via that box. That means you wouldn't see
internal mail: user1 at domain1.com to user2 at domain1.com but if
*@domain1.com was sending to outside and you don't want there mail
touched at all.

I think that would be a good way to go about it, right? That is unless
we just put the IP address of the device from the inside network
forwarding us e-mail. Just trying to see the different things that we
can do.
