And how do you reject mail not known to the MTA if you're using
MailScanner to intercept ??

We use MailScanner in front of Groupwise's GWIA - to catch bad stuff
coming in...

Hi

I have a similar set and have the P4 running MS/SA etc. All email is 
transfered to the internal primary MX - the external MX gets routed to

the P4 buy the firewall.

I have around 100 users and load avg is around 0.2 (I reject unknown 
email addressed the MTA which drops about 66% of the traffic before it

hits MS/SA..)
