Sorry, I don't made myself clear enough. It's not a secondary MX. It's a
relay. That's the full history:

We have one First Class server, and it's SMTP server suc*s, no AV, bad
spam prevention, a whole list of problems.

To remedy that, we're trying to pass the mails (smtp) by the vmail
machine, where exim + vmail + amavis will do the cleaning...

so, what I need is that the vmail machine receives the mail for the
first class machine and redirect them, after all routing thru exim, to
the final smtp.

The First Class is a separate domain, and the vmail machine handles
multople domains too (of course).

I think that now I pictured the scneario right :)
