Why not run a full SMTP program like Sendmail, or Qmail, and add the
anti-SPAM filtering rules? Set it up so it forwards incomming mail to the
exchange server, and the exchange server uses it to send outgoing mail.
One advantage of doing it this way is that if the exchange server goes
down, the firewall will queue the mail untill it is up again.
