Sounds somewhat "crazy" to me :) see,  ASSP is capable of running
LDAP lookups by itself and SHOULD do that btw since it *needs* to
know if a given recipient address exists or not and, in case it doesn't
exist, reject the message (and optionally generate spamtraps); so
imHo you'd better setup ASSP to run LDAP lookups (or VRFY/RCPT
checks) against "mx2" and let it work as it's designed :)

With such a setup your mailflow will be the following

* incoming email
internet -> ASSP -> mx1 -> mx2 -> local mailbox
(Note: the LDAP or VRFY recipient checking should
be handled by ASSP against mx2)

* outgoing email
local mailbox -> mx2 -> ASSP -> mx1 -> internet

any external user willing to send email will fall onto
the "incoming" flow but will authenticated so that
ASSP will see the session as "trusted"

Once you'll have such a setup (with LDAP working) try sending
an email (through exchange) to the "assp.local" address, then
use the exchange message tracking to check the "path" for the
message and also check the ASSP maillog.txt to look at entries
related to the message
