[Mimedefang] md is not the first relay

HI.

I am reposting this message, because it didn't get through before,
so I'm sorry if you get it twice by accident.

No, it doesn't fit my situation because the upstream mail relay does not run
mimedefang and is not under my control.

Yes, I think that this is exactly what I need.
I did read about it before posting but didn't understand that it is what I'm
looking for...

Just to clarify again - does it mean that spamassassin on the mimedefang server
will now start checking DNSBL against the ip of the relay that originated the
email and sent it to mailrelay1 (This is what I want)?

I am now using it and is seems to do the job.
I have also added the upstream mail relay to "internal_networks" for example:

trusted_networks a.b.c.d
internal_networks a.b.c.d

This is what I understood from "man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf" which is a bit
confusing, for me at least.

Hartstikke bedankt.
