This will break Domain-Key- and SPF setups. And you will have their
private mails inside your mailsystem, which will possibly generate
bounces on invalid target addresses, which will lead to a privacy
nightmare for you.
Besides: any encrypted communication will break.
I would not dare to implement such a setup.
Wouldn't it be better to just block port 25 outgoing and leaving only
587 open? That way bots can't spam any MXes and users can still relay
mails with their normal relay.
This is the way it is supposed to work, not by intercepting any
communication.
