I wrote a Jabber <-> SMTP bridge, writeup is at
http://ladro.com/jabber/jsmtp.html

In a nutshell: you can send email to an account of yours that triggers a
Jabber session to a jabber server, sending as a return your email
address like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to which the
person can reply to.

It just copies the body of the email to the body of the jabber message
and vice versa.

The instructions are for Qmail as I know how to easily call external
programs from a .qmail-extension file.  It should work for other MTAs.
