>But it won't. Remember, the E-mail got to the virus scanner because >IMail was set up magically Imail is untouched, DNS was modified to original anydomain.com MX 10 virusgate.ISPdomain.com virusgate.ISPdomain.com MX 10 virusgate.ISPdomain.com mail.anydomain.com MX 10 imail.anydomain.com In the above scheme, local users send their outgoing to mail.anydomain.com, and it gets routed to Imail and delivered within Imail, no scanning. But for scanning local-to-local mail: anydomain.com MX 10 virusgate.anydomain.com virusgate.ISPdomain.com MX 10 virusgate.anydomain.com mail.anydomain.com MX 10 virusgate.anydomain.com Now local users send to mail (ie, no need to chagne their mail pgms at all), it gets routed to virusgate, is scanned, and virusgate forwards to the !! ip address !! of Imail, and Imail delivers the scanned mail locally. There is no mail loop because the virus scanner's "next hop" for any Imail mailhost is not via an MX query, but by virusgate's internal routing table, or even its NT hosts file.
