A question re "Ignore Spam Whitelist If ..."

[Martin Hepworth]

Quentin
another option would be separate inbound and outbound servers. That way
the outbound servers would only virus and do other checks, but not call
SA at all.

I guess it depends how many servers you have right now and what checks
you do on outbound email.
