Hello ^Ö

Hoping someone can offer advice on an issue I^Òm having.

I have a server with the latest version of MailScanner, and DNS configured
for the email domain with a cost of 10 pointing to this server.

I have another server that is not running MailScanner (yet) in another
location. It simply relays mail to the MailScanner server using Sendmail
with a cost of 20.

What's strange first off, is that tons of mail still passes through the
server with cost of 20, even though the primary MailScanner server with
cost of 10 never goes down. Anybody know how to prevent this?

The other question is what I might be able to do with the non-MailScanner
server so that when the mail does get relayed back to the MailScanner
server, it has the original IP of the sender, rather than the relay
server's IP. I believe this is causing SpamAssassin not to tag email with
SpamCop or XBL list scores.

Thanks,
Max
