No, it isn't possible (not as you described it), and yes, that
would create a mail loop, the config is the following

user -> mailserver -> ASSP -> MTA (smarthost) -> internet

for example you may have (say) a Lotus Domino as your
mailserver and a sendmail sitting on the ASSP box used
as the MTA (smarthost) the latter will receive the messages
from ASSP and perform the needed outgoing mail routing
by the way, nothing forbids you (assumed you did setup
things properly) to use the setup for inbound routing too,
in this case you'd have

internet -> ASSP -> MTA -> mailserver

that is, ASSP would send incoming messages to the local
MTA (sendmail in the above example) which in turn would
then route them to the backend mailserver (Lotus in the
example) the advantage of such a setup is that, in case
the backend mailserver is unreachable, the local MTA
will enqueue messages and retry sending them so the
incoming messages won't be lost
