Headers of SPAM emails show that emails are at times delivered directly
to our email server

MX record for Email server is must to act as back up in case of SMTP
gateway failure.

Solution being used is from Symantec.


There you go, this is the problem. The MX with the higher priority if unreachable or unable to handle an SMTP session will prompt the sending mail server to choose the lower priority MX, that is your main email server.

I would suggest you add the second network (as set on the MX record)
also to the scanning mail server so even if one network is down the the
second MX comes into action and the email still would go through the
scanning process.

If you are unable to add another network to the scanning mail server
then there is really nothing you can do apart from adding scanning
capabilities to you main mail server.
