I find that your suggestion of using IMAP for the exposed host makes a lot
of sense for this application. So I don't bug the list too much with this
question (actually, the two people that came to mind to answer this did ;) 
), what web sites, books, or other resources exist to help me build an IMAP
server to receive mail and something to do the reverse going back out?
Incidentally, the outside world need never have access to my outbound
server, if that helps clarify the issue.
