I'm going to use qmail-scanner and mcafee virusscan for virus scanning. So
how I think it will work is something like this:
qmail-smtpd ->
qmail-scanner ->
qmail-queue ->
qmail-send ->
qmail-rspawn ->
qmail-remote
Does qmail-scanner come in before or after qmail-queue?
So to make this work all I would need to do is put the domain in rcpthosts
and a line in smtproutes ":my.normal.mail.server"?
So that every domain I put in rcpthosts and change the MX record for will go
to this server be virus scanned then pushed on to my normal mail server.
cheers,
Bjorn
