    If I understand your question correctly then what you need to do is forward
    inbound emails to your Symantec AV gateway. You can set this up in your
    mailertable....located at /etc/mail/mailertable....

    Example entry
    Test.com smtp:symantec.test.com

    Of course you will need a dns entry for your smtp server...let me know if
    this was what you were looking for.

    I didn't see your earlier query but I'll try to answer this one.

    One of the ways to this is to install MailScanner from
    http://www.mailscanner.info. When properly installed, this separates your
    mail on your existing server into multiple queues - for example, I have a
    mail queue that receives the incoming mail, lets MailScanner scan it, and
    then it moves the mail to an outgoing queue for more processing.

    MailScanner is fairly powerful and supports multiple virus scanning engines.
    There is detailed documentation on their web site. You can do spam
    filtering too if you want.
