I probably should have another look at the scripts, and make them so they're re-runable. I haven't applied Murphy's law to them yet. ;) (although I did try to make them as robust as I could on the first draft). I'm pretty sure the problem is with the firewall. I intend to modify the firewall

I don't understand what that has to do with using another fake MX to capture SPAM. Instead, it worth the while to setup such MX only to evaluate if there is a consistent stream of emails which can be captured and tagged as SPAM (because they would be 100% SPAM) for improving spam assassin

I'm not absolutely sure, but some of the network configuration can be done during the install, and I'm guessing that iptables might be part of that. # service iptables status iptables: Firewall is not running. # iptables -L -n Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source
