That's what I used to do, but there are two problems with that:
1) MickySoft Exchange f@#ks up the headers on bounced mail so
that you can't "reply" to it, and in some cases you can't
even tell what the e-mail address of the sender was.
2) The system admin shut that feature off to try to force
everybody to use Outlook.
I've also considered setting up a rule to save mail in a local
mailbox that's on an SMB mountable filesystem and writing a
program to periodically suck mail out of that mailbox. I've no
idea what the format of MS Outlook mailboxes is...
