should work since they are basically the same, but the TELNET proxy will
not filter for attacks via the protocls though - so it won't filter attacks
against your sendmail etc...

look for something called fetchpop or similar. Basically its a little
program that acts as a mail client. Its goes and pops the mail from
wherever and deliveres it to local mailboxs via a set of filter rules. You
will need qmail or something locally to receive the mails from the
fetcher... If you main mailserver is qmail then you can filter on the
"Delivered-to:" headerline :}
