well, that's one possibility, the other possibility is as OP described
in the later mail (unix mailhub forwarding mail onto a variety of other
servers over smtp, so the other servers see all connections coming from
the mailhub's IP address, so spamd won't help). And other options,
like UUCP and ODMR, exist too.
The other missing piece I forgot to write alongside the bit about
/etc/mail/access is about using /etc/mail/mailertable to pass the
mail on to the correct server ("example.com smtp:[10.0.0.25]" or
similar).
