Sending mail is really not relevant to exchange, unless you want to do
something like store the sent mail in an exchange sent folder or
process special rules on exchange. Otherwise, just better to send to
a local smtp server.

As far as receiving mail goes, there is an Exchange API you can use
but I don't know the details well. What I do is to use the smtp pop3
..net client (lots of them available on the internet) and simply pop
the mail off of a pop server into my .net app. That way, I don't have
to worry about things like a multi-threaded smtp server. It pops one
at a time and automatically deletes it off the pop server.

Very clean, very fast.

Good Luck.
