I have to do something like this in my organization and I handle it like this:
I created a Contact in AD, and assigned it the remote user's home email address. Then on the users actual Domain Account, I set the Exchange General > Delivery Options > Forwarding Address to forward to the AD Contact. You can have email delivered locally as well so there's a copy here as well as sent to their home. I've been doing it off and on for a couple of years without any problems. I suppose that if the home user had a rule to forward things back to the office as well, it could create a loop, but I don't see that happening. They certainly don't want a rule to forward dirty jokes from their Uncle Tasteless to the corporate office.

We run Exchange 2003 and fwd to external is turned off. If I turn this on, will we be vulnerable to a mail loop? We run one domain only. I see this here: ESM > Global Settings > Internet Message Formats > Default (which has * listed at the Domain) > Properties > Advanced > "Allow auto foward" is unchecked.
