This will not work if you have an off-site MX or you have an off-site MX that doesn't have the same packet filtering rules that you do. It will time out to the first MX, and deliver to the next. If that next MX is off-site, it will be delivered there and you will just get the spam via that route.. :/ It's best done with sendmail rules, I suppose. > Read the msg below from Cyberpromo.
