Ok so i have the machine up and running with about 120 domains going
through it, all seems nice.... Thanks for all your help guys and gals....
I just have one more simple question..... i whitelisted any email coming
form this new machine in my current config on the old machine..... now
is this enough to tell MS not to scan incoming email from this server or
should i do anything else? I mean will it still scan it? and give it a
high negative number because its on the white list....? or is ther
another way to say , do not scan for spam ro virus for any email coming
form this machine IP? as i need the load to go done on the older machine
and do not want MS being used for anything other than email going out
form web apps on the server....
Thanks!
