Email Gateway solution

I have posted something similar here before, but need something a little different. I have posted this to the comp.mail.sendmail newsgroup also. Hopefully I will get a response between these two resources. I am using RHEL AS 4 as a mail gateway that I am trying to setup.

I am trying to setup a mail gateway using Sendmail. We have a server2 (with 200 domains) that we would like to lighten the load on by having all outgoing mail go through a mail gateway for virus checking. This is already working. Running SpamAssassin, MailScanner and ClamAV along with all of the websites really slows things down and that is why we are wanting to do this. What I now want to do is to setup the mail gateway as the incoming mail server for all domains on server2, virus and spam check the emails, then send them on to server2 for local delivery. I don't know how to set this part up and was hoping somebody here could help me. I can setup the MX records to point to the gateway, but don't know how to setup the gateway to send all of the mail onto server2 after checking for spam and viruses.

I know of one company that has a series of mail servers. server1 receives all incoming mail and checks for spam deleting any spam. Then it sends it to server2 which checks for viruses and deletes them when found. Then it sends it to server3 for pickup by the clients. Of course they won't tell me their setup, but they will do the setup on my server for a very LARGE fee. About $3,000. I could setup a separate email server altogether for that. The problem is our control panel, Ensim. So to keep from having to teach our clients how to use a separate server to send and receive email on, it would be easier if we can do it without their knowledge in the background.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
