Not sure what your setup is, but if you're interested, I have mail
working well (so far) with Exchange 2003 and Postfix.  No fetchmail; all
live-fire.

It's ExternalAuth itself I can't seem to get working right.  Got
derailed into another project last week, but if my postfix / exchange
setups would be useful to you, you're welcome to 'em.
