This is what I do not know how.
I have only experience with courier-mta(-ssl) but not exim.
There was someone which told me, that it does not work with
courier-mta and I should use exim4 for it.
I hav eread the exim4 docu but do not know, how to setup
such system (e.g. maping)
Can you suggest an POP/IMAP proxy ?

Yes, I have already seen it.

This is, why I setup the different Mailboxes.
My enterprise will be in Marrakech/Morocco,
where internet Access is really expensive.
I do not like to route the whole Mail-Traffic over
an E3 for 41.000 Euro/month. (7.000 Euro for an E1).

Right, but using several locations give me more security
and will reduce the traffic per country.

And this is what I do not know how to install.
What I need is a Flow-Diagram to imagine what happen between
mx.freenet.de mount.freenet.de mboxXX.freenet.de
mxX.freenet.de mountX.freenet.de
And I asume that <mx.freenet.de> is the Proxy.
