<div dir="ltr">Thanks for sharing this info<br><br>We also use MailWatch for monitoring, but one thing I cant find in it is when a mail is blocked due to bad file name or type it only says Bad content but no details stating what the reason was, so I have to go through the maillog and check what exactly it was, this process could be a little bit a hurdle for HelpDesk team as they need a simple GUI tool and also they dont have shell access on the server.<br>

I doubt you need to spend money/time on a dedicated load balancer.<br>
Just setting up all your MailScanner servers as MX hosts in your DNS<br>
should do the trick for free. Load balancing via round robin from DNS<br>
and failover from SMTP automatically picking the next MX if one is not<br>
available.<br>
