> Hello All

> I hope I can explain what it is I would like to do.
> 
> Basically, I would like to have a machine acting as our primary mail
> server that excepts smtp connections from the outside world (using
> sendmail), and does all the virus and spam scanning, none of 
> our members
> would ever connect to this machine. Once the message was 
> cleaned and/or
> appropriate headers added, the mail would then be forwarded 
> to a second
> machine (also running sendmail and procmail) and then put in 
> the members
> mailbox.
> 
> What I need to know is how do I get the mailscanner machine 
> to do all the
> work and then pass the message onto another machine.
> I am using sendmail 8.12.10 and procmail 3.22 I will be installing the
> latest and greatest MailScanner and SpamAssassin.
> 
> Thank you for any and all suggestions
