It is actually a viruswall that scans and sends mail for inbound and only sends mail via outbound. Where do I put the Ip address on the SMTP Connector? Under smarthosts or routing group? It says to either use dns or smarthosts...however, in my dns, it is setup to have a primary mx record of the viruswall server.
