OT: malscanner server bypassed

[Jan Agermose]

Hi

 

A bit off topic i think J I have a mailscanner server running in front of
the pop3/smtp server. As the pop3 server receives mail for domains not
handled by the mailscanner server I cannot close down the pop3 server for
mail not coming from/through the mailscanner.

Now the problem is that a lot of spam seams to hit the pop3 server for
domains handled by the mailscanner but looking at the mailheader it looks
like the spammails where delivered to the pop3 server directly bypassing
the mailscanner. Could this be correct? And is this possible to prevent
in any?

 

The MX of the domain is pointing to the mailscanner server.

 

 

Mvh

Jan
