Fetchmail can collect from a POP3 mailbox and forward using SMTP (fetchmail keyword: smtphost) to an Exchange server on a private ip address on a LAN. To the Exchange server, it's as though it were the mail exchanger for the domain, fetchmail is transparent. So mail gets delivered to individual mailboxes as normal. You can also tell fetchmail not to add any headers, such as Received (keyword: set invisible). If there is scanning in the system, fetchmail can respond rationally to most of the error messages generated. This is a very quick and simple basic solution to the overall issue, but doesn't give you spam or virus scanning. You could set those up on the same gateway machine using a system that (like IMGate) wants to act as a forwarder, scanning and then sending on to another (defined) smtp server (your Exchange machine). There are lots of these about, including IMGate. From a glace at the IMGate website, I'd have thought you could install fetchmail without repercussions. If not, there are other scanning packages available. Exact choice depends whether you want to use a commercial or a free system. PWR.
