If you're already installing, and expecting to use, Microsoft
Exchange then why not relay mail there?
On all the machines I maintain, for example, I have a single
mailserver and I just configure each system to mail:
lists-root@lists.example.com
That way all root messages to to a single mailing list where
different staff members, or people, can view them.
If you install ssmtp, nullmailer, or similar on each of the
boxes that's sufficient to route outgoing mails - theres no
need to run SMTP service to receive mail on the boxes, surely?
