And that "other server" can't simply be a new e-mail address? That won't
change the To: RFC822 headers if that is a concern.


Not really.

As long as mailserver2 (step7) is not one of the servers polled in step
1, I don't see a problem. Do you have control over "mailserver2"? If so,
you could configure it to only accept mail from your server that
performs steps 1-6 above.

That would ensure that "mailserver2" only has messages that were
filtered by your steps 1-6 above.


mailserver 1 does its only emails, and mailserver2 the others. I just want
to grab some emails (pop3) from the first mail server, forward to the second
mailserver, so that the email can be processed by mailserver1's procmail
rules (i.e. Razor Spam, SA and ClamAV.)
