For Exchange 2003, look here:

According to this post, there is a plugin for 5.5 that can do it:

(though the working is slightly ambiguous, I'm pretty sure that the
plugin is for Exchange and not for MimeDefang).
According to Edgar Lovecraft, regular on this list, you can do it for
Exchange 2000 with something called a "Custom Event Sink":

If anybody knows of any specific examples of how to do this with
Exchange 2000, there would seem to be several people on the list who
would love to hear about it.
