Rafael, Set up a Linux server with SMTP server (virtualized or real hardware) in the main office that does not allow relaying. Set the port to something other than 25, since some providers block that to prevent spam bots getting out. Create the messages carefully and have all messages that don't match the key:value pair goto NUL, the rest get put into the mailbox you setup. Setup a workstation to check that local server or write code to check that local server and automate the handling of the file. It would be a free solution. The only thing that will burn you is local firewalls detecting outgoing mail and shutting it down. If you already have an SSL capable email process, you can setup the server requiring that type of connectivity.
