Hello.

I'm trying to install XEAMS as a Spam Firewall. Do I need to run SMTP Server for this? Or only SMTP Proxy. I'm not sure what is the difference between both.

Any help would be greatly appleaciated

Thanks

If all you need is to filter in-bound emails, Proxy Server will suffice. However, we strongly recommend you filter both in-bound and out-bound emails. In that case, we recommend using the regular SMTP server for both directions. Here are some useful links:
