Thanks very much. Always good to get a second pair of eyes looking at something before doing it.

Technically speaking, MX records are just for inbound mail. You can use outbound mail on any SMTP server that will allow you to deliver... and it doesn't have to have a MX record in DNS. What you're asking would be more dependant on your setup, rather than DNS. You need to configure the smarthost to only allow incoming mail from the antispam servers's IP address... and leave the SMTP engine alone otherwise. -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Kadoo [mailto:jkadoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]=3D20 Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 10:13 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] OT: Mx record configuration Sorry for the off topic, but I know many of you have run into this issue before. We are currently putting in an antispam server. After email is processed by the anti spam server it is then transferred to our "smarthost". We have two mx records; one for the antispam server, and one for our smarthost. We were doing this for our testing phase. Now I would like to delete the mx record for the smarthost so that all email incoming will go to the antispam server first. My question is, will that screw up my smarthost? I want our smarthost to continue to deliver outgoing mail itself without going back to the antispam server for delivery. =3D20 Thanks so much in advance =3D20 Jonathan ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor - RTO Software / TScale What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers?
