I would *HIGHLY* recommend against trying to go around your Exchange admin's
back to connect an unauthorized client to your mail environment.  Depending on
the behavior of the client it could cause server-side issues and cause a "resume
producing event" for you (slang for getting you fired).  We had an individual
attempt something similar where I work and his client was misbehaving extremely
badly, we suspect that the client that he was using was also infected with some
sort of trojan.  It caused the mailbox database that his mailbox was located in
to produce *MASSIVE* quantities of log files (Exchange produces database
transaction log files for every change to the mailbox database just like SQL
server does for its databases).  It would produce so many log files that it
would cause the databases that used the same log file disk to go offline due to
the log file disk running out of space.  In our guy's case, he got lucky and
senior management just slapped his hand.  Your management might not be so
understanding.
 
I, personally, wouldn't chance it without approval from your management and your
Exchange admin.
