Yes... if eXpurgate is acting like a proxy. The only reference to eXpurgate wrt email I could find
is
http://email.about.com/od/spamfilteringservices/gr/expurgate.htm
which doesn't sound like what I would call a proxy. But I don't know anything more than what I read
on that page, so I may well be barking up the wrong tree.

Indeed. I've actually got a setup with two Exim servers behind a cluster of ZXTM load balancers and
something like XCLIENT would make certain tasks I have a lot easier (I've found workarounds for all
the issues I've had but this would be potentially neater).
