How can one easily "sync" security settings (i.e SMTP blocks, blacklists) .. between multiple servers.
Have 4 inbound gateway servers... would like the security settings in sync . from main inbound server to the other 3.  How to do?

Hello, 

In some cases, you can export the settings and import the (Whitelists, Balcklists ), or you can use the API to sync them between servers. Set one as the primary to scan for settings and have the API add the missing ones to the other servers. 

Thank you

Is there an example or instructions on how to make a gateway MX as a primary, and add API scans??

This would be a nice feature request!
Automatic sync would be awesome, but even just an option to import/export all the spam settings would work.
