Exchange servers can be made to run an arbitrary program upon completing
the initiation of the dialup connection. Give them program which initiates
a pop3 or spop3 connection, authenticates itself at the server, then
quits. And there is a wrapper for this behaviour on www.qmail.org.
ssh can also be made to do this, but that would need a system account on
the mailserver for each such user. Albeit their shell can be the script
maildir2smtp.
