emulate the Apache proxy capability, especially the reverse proxy.

more seriously, what you need to do is from common proxy and web server 
ports, accept proxy requests with a destination port number of 25 and 
pretend to relay them.  at least, that was the behavior I saw on a 
misconfigured Apache web server proxy.

for what it's worth, I advocate abandoning Apache as it is too complex 
to configure correctly quickly.  This is especially true of the built-in 
proxy.  For what it's worth, folks should consider using alternatives 
like pound (very good secure proxy) and Cherokee (my favorite).  But 
seriously, any web server except IIS is better than Apache.  Find one 
that works for your application and use it.
