If your webmail software uses IMAP to access the maildirs, it can run
anywhere as long as it can reach the server where the mail is stored via
IMAP. Note that the qmail installation in the case mentioned below is only a
forwarder, theres not a single mail stored, is this case you'll need IMAP
access to the exchange shit.

??? on the mail-"proxy" you need as always "me" - and the lines above. thats
all. the actual mailserver needs an qmail installation as usual, except
echo ":yourmailproxieshostname" > smtproutes
to forward all mails to your mail-"proxy".

I'm not sure if this is needed - but as qmail seems to be used by less
experienced admins more and more i maybe of help.
