Yes. You have to make sure _all_ your outgoing and incoming mail goes
through the border router. But that's kind of the point of a border
router, so it shouldn't be that much of an imposition.
For outbound traffic, you rewrite user@??? to whatever
BATV-mangled address you require as usual, and on the way back in you
mangle it back again. The machine on the inside never needs to know.
