Anti-spam policy

Hi,

I see some spam e-mails delivered to my customers via my MX which is a
backup for them... it seems that for some reason, they trust me more than
the average Internet SMTP client.

So I am wondering what should be good practice against spam. Should I:
1) leave it like that and let the customer decide on his anti-spam policy
2) apply some anti-spam on my MX; at the risk of rejecting valid e-mail?

V

PS: hoping there is still somebody listening to this list...

It's a common spammer tactic for this very reason. I can't give you a
good answer though, other than just use one MX and make sure it doesn't
fail.
