Many thanks Nick,

That's really all I was after, someone who had done something similar to say "yes, I've done something similar". I can start serious digging into the ins and outs with Google and ChatGPT (Ha! Is funny!)
 
Kind regards

It's not quite the same, but I do and have done
something similar.

Currently, I run postfix and dovecot on a Bitfolk
machine. The postfix daemon is my personal
domain's mail server, storing mail on the VPS
until I collect it from dovecot. My systems are
all Linux, though, not Exchange.

In the past, I set up a postfix system in front of
a charity's Exchange server, handling all incoming
and outgoing mail. Outlook users accessed their
Exchange mailboxes, but the Windows system was
firewalled-off from the Internet. The postfix
system also ran virus and spam filtering.

Unfortunately, that was more than fifteen years
ago, and I've recycled those neurons.

Nick.
