What means that?

Also, if I have another computer in the LAN that needs to get
mail from pop.east.cox.net and send it to smtp.east.cox.net,
I can use exim|postfix to send it from a spool on the "local mail
machine" to that other machine, right?

Will exim|postfix have to run on each LAN client, or does each
MUA on each node know how to send mail directly to the "local
mail machine" which then in turn sends it on to smtp.east.cox.net?

Btw, the ultimate goal is to have a central spam filter, as well
as learning about configuring email.
