[cobalt-users] 2ndary mail server?

I have a client whose mailserver is provided by another company - we host their site on a dedicated RAQ, while another company handles their mail.

This other company says that the SoBig virus is coming in at such a rate, that their mailserver can't cope.

Their dedicated server has mailscanner, but none of the user accounts setup... 

how can we change it so that their mail first hits their dedicated server, we mailscanner it - remove the viruses etc, and pass it through to their 2ndary mailserver?  Any ideas welcomed - they are getting a little upset about their mail situation - which I completely understand!

I was thinking that we need to simply setup a catchall on the machine this end, then create an MX record for this server, with a HIGHER priority mailserver setting.  Wouldn't that cause mail to be collected here, scanned, then passed for final collection to the existing mailserver?

thanks
