I don't know what exactly your goal is here, but a better approach is to do
this in the mail server on the UNIX system at the SMTP level, and then you
don't need to muck about with pop3/fetchmail at all. You can do this
per-domain, so it will work as long as you want all users for a particular
domain to have their mail forwarded to exchange.
I'm only familiar with qmail, but you can simply add the domain into rcpthosts
and then an entry into smtproutes like
domainname.com:internal.exchange.server.com, and all mail will be accepted by
qmail, and then passed on to exchange. If exchange is down (which will
happen a lot), then the mail will just queue up on the UNIX mail server until
the exchange server comes back up and accepts it.
This is pretty basic functionality, so I'm sure whatever MTA you choose to use
on UNIX will have the support - you'll just have to research it a bit more if
it's not qmail.
My apologies if this is not an adequate solution for your particular
situation.
Cheers,
