How are your users browsing the internet? Thru the proxy? If so, you
could probably use the same service to allow POP3 proxying. You should
also be looking into NAT as you mentioned since proxies are usually
limited to certain protocols only.
If you want some sort of control on incoming mail (trojans, virii,
etc.), you should look into pulling mail for your users, filtering it,
then delivering to individual mailboxes. Your users would then only
need to access _your_ mail server.
