John, Yes, that's exactly how we do it. We have two different DBs, one for internal and one for external email, with four external SMTP servers on the external addresses and two on the internal ones. You just need to run one instance of "cleanup" for eachDB and we found it easiest and most reliable to just run it on the DB machine itself. We handle around a million messages through our mail gateways daily and it's been working great this way. Have never seen a DB corruption or other production-level issue. --Tobias
