Since you have a POP3 client which includes an SMTP client, and you have an SMTP server (Sendmail), all you lack is a POP3 SERVER which Sendmail is not. I do not know what protocols Exchange supports (SMTP, POP2, POP3, IMAP, ?), but you need to have the requisite server for the protocol Exchange uses to READ notes. SMTP is used to SEND notes. To "use sendmail from a pop3 client" you merely configure the client to use the Sendmail host as its "SMTP Server", but again - this is only for SENDing notes. Both IMAP and POP3 server programs are readily available. Lastly, I presume that the Wintel box is also setup as an IP host and has a network connection to your BSD host, or you may need something like Samba to do LAN (Netbios) types of connections.
