MailScanner isn't a proxy.
However, you could still use it for Situation 1 depending on exactly
what "Mail Server" is, and what kind of stuff you are willing to set up.

That mgith work for situation 2, but not situation 1.
Quite frankly, doing anything of this sort using proxies is asking for
trouble.
The normal way of integrating SA is to run it directly on your
mailserver, or insert another upstream mailserver to run SA on, and
forward all mail through that machine.
ie:
1) MailServer with SA --> internet
2) Mail Client ---> Mail Server with SA
or
1) Mail Server (existing) --> New Mail Server with SA --> internet
2) Mail Client --> Mail Server (existing) --> New Mail Server with SA
These last two appear to be what I am trying to achieve, but am not sure how to set up the "New Mail Server with SA" and put it transparently between the "Mail Server" and internet.
