Apologies if this is a stupid question... (but some of the best things I've 
learned about firewalls came from asking stupid questions!)

We have two groups of researchers in our building. One lot are on one LAN
behind a firewall, which passes mail (smap/smapd on Linux) to our local 
internal mail server for them to access. They also use a local (internal) 
file server.  No problem here.

The second group are on a separate internal LAN which connects directly to 
the outside world.  This group now want to come into the fold and use our 
file server. That itself is no problem, BUT they still want to access their 
old (external) mail accounts.  (Some of them need email access from home
but don't want messages duplicated on two servers inside and outside the
firewall.)  

Is it possible to 'tunnel' out through the firewall to allow them their 
email access this way?  Can someone point me in the right direction,
please - especially if I've overlooked something blindingly obvious! 

Thanks

John Armstrong
