Do not set your IMAIL server to be secondary DNS MX record. Simply tell
Webshield where to forward the mail to once scanned. If you need a backup
mail server it should be a different one than where you have IMAIL
installed. It should work the way you have it set up but I have seen DNS
loops like that before...
