Re: The missing groups will NOT be restored



Oh yes it can :-)

Talking from personal experience, one of my major clients sends mail from
its
core servers to a virus-scanning mail relay. This sends on to another,
different, virus-scanning mail relay. It's only that second relay that
sends
out to the rest of the world.

The logic, of course, is that virus companies release their patches in
different timeframes, and having a "defence in depth" strategy is
more
effective.

I've certainly seen, particularly when there are lots of changes going on,
relays set up to bounce outgoing mail before it ever leaves the SENDING
organisation's mail servers.

A sending SERVER can't bounce its own mail. A sending ORGANISATION can!

Regards,

Mark
