What about end people that need web based access to their mail server such
as Outlook Web Access?  A simple gateway (with virus scanning) doesn't do
the trick.  

What is the preferred way for that set up (on a limited budget)?

I would tend to agree with Kurt on this. That way you can use 
something really secure like qmail as your mail gateway.  This 
prevents your internal, possibly less secure, (e.g. exchange) mail 
server from being directly exposed to the Internet.  

Just my opinion.
