I'm not sure how to block those emails from the secondary to the mailhub and 
still retain functionality of the backup MX in MS/SA. MIMEDefang could 
destroy these at the MTA level also, not MS. Blacklisting in MS is not an 
option because it doesn't provide for a backup MX without editing files.

Other thoughts or experiences?

Thanks very much.
