Hello,
  I've got a problem that I've been mulling over for
work.  We have an external (outside our firewall)
qmail server that simply relays e-mail through the
firewall(proxy & packet filtering) into an internal
mail server.  Nothing is queued on the external mail
server, it's just an incoming and outgoing relay.  
   How could we allow users to connect to the internal
mail server to retrieve their e-mail?
We only want to allow the external mail server to
connect through the firewall to the internal mail
server so we can limit access through the firewall to
a single IP for better security.  That way an intruder
would first have to compromise the external mail
server before being allowed to access the internal one
through the firewall (I realize that's not perfect,
but every little bit helps)

Could we set up a web server on the external mail
server and have it forward it's requests through the
proxy to the internal mail server running sqwebmail?  

Is there a way to have a pop3 server on the external
mail server that would forward requests to the
internal mail server?

Any other suggestions are welcome.

Thank you for any help in advance!  I figure 100's of
heads are better than my one ;-)

Steve

P.S.  We would also want the entire session encrypted:
SSL if using the web server, stunnel for the pop3
option (or anything else that would work).
