Darrell,

To answer your last question first, yes, its just a matter of pointing the MX record to
the one given to you by Spam Soap.   They handle the incoming mail and then send it on,
once it has been cleaned, to your BQ/BX box.   In addition to each user having access to
their own Spam Soap console, they have the ability to get a report (daily, weekly etc)
of which emails were filtered out so the user can make adjustments and be sure that no
legit emails were being filtered.

I can't give you a specific price as it depends on number of domains and number of email
addresses.   Looking at ours, right now I am averaging about $1.10 per user per month.  
The more users, the better the price break.   We currently run approx 250 users and 50
domains.   If they quote you a price that is much higher, let me know and maybe you and
I can work out deal for a single user/domain.   Feel free to email me off list if you
wish to discuss it further.
