De-centralizing mail like that is asking for trouble, it's probably
better to add mail users to the FreeBSD box and install a pop3 or
imap server, setup an MX record for the FreeBSD so people send mail
to it.

You can find 3rd party pop and imap servers in /usr/ports/mail,
the most simple configuration is just installing /usr/ports/mail/popper
and telling users to check email off of the FreeBSD machine.
