We've just recently deployed a Barracuda spam filtering device and have
been quite pleased with its performance.  I've been tasked with finding
a way to use the device to filter some of our clients home/isp email
accounts.  I believe that I could use fetchmail to retrieve the messages
via POP, change the To address from user(_at_)ISP(_dot_)com to something like
user_ISP(_dot_)com(_at_)filteringservicedomain(_dot_)com, and redeliver the 
message to
the Barracuda filtering box.

As long as the mailboxes being polled by fetchmail are single drop
then yes.  Just use the standard recipient re-writing facilities.  If
it's multi-drop then you'll need to run a local SMTP server to
re-write the recipients.

Would I be able to have fetchmail deliver to the Barracuda via SMTP or
would it need to go through a local MTA?  Thanks for the help.

Fetchmail can deliver to any SMTP server, whether it's on the same
host or a remote host.
