Nigel,

Without having thought this out entirely, a database, say Mysql, placed
on shared storage available from both data centres, could feed DBMail
(http://www.dbmail.org/index.php?page=overview) from which your clients
retrieve their POP messages.
(http://www.dbmail.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=bigpicture)

We've had rather good experience with MySQL on DRBD as shared storage,
but large volumes of updates are a bit slow -- this won't affect you.
No experience as yet with DBMail, although it sounds interesting.
