1. Why you do not like the solution of installing MailScanner on your
secondary mail server?

2. It sounds as though you are only using MailScanner's (rather limited) spam
detection capabilities - you would do a far better job if you installed
SpamAssassin as well, and this would no longer be limited to identifying spam
by the sending machine's IP address.
