Nathan,

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Reading this thread it would *seem* as if you might be trying to get 
email from a third-party source. But reading your explaination above it 
seems like you are operating *both* or all mail servers involved. If you 
are managing both and only some email goes to an "outside" server for 
clients you could probably set up .forward files for people who need it 
on the "second" or "outside" server. That way, as soon as it's processed 
by spamassassin and clamavis and whatever other filters you run it can 
just be dumped onto the "outside" machine. I would configure the 
"outside" machine to only accept email from your mail server and cut 
down the hardware requirements for your "outside" machine.

Another way of doing this is to alias incoming email to the "outside" 
machine (again assumes you control both) for those users that need it.

Is this what you are trying to accomplish?
