using exchange to check other pop3 accounts

[jsp...@neoteksystems.com]

I have a local exchange server on a small network. our email is hosted
by our isp on a dedicated server I have using mail enable. I connect
to it via pop 3. I have the exchange box on the network to have a mail
store so I don't loose email. That's it's only real funciton. When I
get email through outlook 07 it's from the other server and then it
saves in exchange etc.

is there any way in exchange 2003 or the upcomming 2007 server to have
IT check the other server box so I don't have to do it through outlook?
This would allow me to not have to have outlook running for the
exchange server to get the email.

if not, I know there are several programs that claim they can do this.
Is there a good one that anyone's used?

thanks!

I would investigate the use of a product such as POPCON:
http://www.christensen-software.com/popcon.htm
It has RBL, anti virus, anti spam and lots of rules which will deliver
to a range of accounts, as well as mail enabled public folders.
The product will also connect to multiple POP3 accounts.
