The reason I posted was because your advice was don't - it won't work,
and I would submit that this would be a typical usage for open source
mta's and closed source Microsoft Exchange. I also have told a client
that I am perfectly willing to do exactly this setup for him - the
entire domain (and a couple of other minimal virtual domains) are
presently being serviced by sendmail/uw-imap = even though they have
purchased SBOS on 3 separate Gateway servers at 3 different locations
and I will not allow them to be exposed to the internet in any way.

More to the point, I suppose that it's necessary to counter the negative
advice you offerred because indeed, I have had several instances where I
have used a mixture of open source and closed source mta's and when I
get them configured properly they work and in fact, have been quite
complimentary.
