I have setup a upstream SMTP server with virus checking installed on it, but
having one problem. In the DNS record I put BOTH SMTP servers with the
upstream having a higher priority. Problem is that it always defaults to my
Imail server and skips the Upstream/Virus SMTP.
It works great if I take out the MX record for my Imail server, but then
what would happen if the upstream failed? I am using Windows 2000 and am
wondering if this might be a problem (but shouldn't be).
Thanks for any help.

Well, copied below is what a "typical" user would see when a iMail list
server sends a message. There is no indication what email address the
message was sent to. There is possibly something in the header, but I'm not
talking about email whizzes here. If they understood that concept, they
could probably figure out how to unsubscribe on their own. I'm going for
the 95% that don't understand it.
As to slowing down the send, I'd go for a bit more sending overhead to avoid
the multiple "can't unsubscribe" auto messages and then the irate emails
from the person who can't figure it out.
But, thanks for the suggestion and reply.

Isn't some header line containing the specific mail address the list server
sent the message to because that's the one that was subscribed with?
Adding user-specific to the msg body seems to be good way to slow down list
delivery, esp when the info is already in the headers.
