What you propose still means that I'm running both Exim and Exchange.  The 
only difference between what you propose and what I have now is how milter 
and groupware server talk to each other.  Your way also entails more system 
administration.  I found the answer to my question later the same day and 
posted it.  I do indeed need only have a text file with one Exchange user 
email addy per line.  That is quicker and easier than creating users and 
mailboxes and having the Exchange server poll them.

The client is otherwise happy with the system.  I just didn't want spam being 
blown back off it.

If all else had failed, maybe I would have had to do it that way......
