back up so my backup server did a great job and I'm a happy camper.
But I was watching the log to make sure I knew what was going on and
noticed SpamTrap entry.  And then a  note that the backup server was
TempBanned!  So I quick quit SIMS and thought about it.  Brought it
back up and commented out my spamtraps in the Router.  I can live
with a little more spam today.  There's probably a way to route
around that, but in any case, it's a thing to be aware of.

Not sure I'm grasping the gist of your issue.  I use spamtraps fine on my
backup MX.  In fact I have a whole section for anti-spam in the router of
the primary MX that routes to error/null/spamtrap as needed, and that is
just cut and pasted into the backup MX's after a change.

I don't own my secondary, it's from my service provider. They gathered the mail while my server was offline, then started feeding it to me when SIMS came back. All well except the tempbanning...
