You can't do that with Exchange 5.5 as POP3 is handled by the store, meaning the mailbox has to be on the server doing the POP3 protocol handling.
With Exchange 2000, you can implement a front-end server to handle POP3 and put it in the DMZ. But that's costly because you have to license Exchange 2000 Enterprise for that front-end server, and I'm not really convinced that it buys you much security-wise.

It was also requested that the system, accessible via the internet, NOT have any mailboxes. I know I'm gunna' hear it about this. I am just asking because I only know how to make POP3 work on the server w/ mailboxes, I heard something about MTA and x.400 address and a script from their administrator but he did not know much more about it.
