Re: smtp proxy that takes in smtp auth?

i'm looking at this senario :

we have got a lot of clients in china who have problems connecting to 
our servers locally. For some reasons unknown, traffic to our network 
from china is being filtered by the government over there. So the ideal 
solution i'm looking at is to have a server in china herself to act as a 
proxy between the users there and the servers here since datacentre to 
datacentre connection is so much better. Since we have got multiple smtp 
servers for different clients, the proxy must be able to forward the 
credentials between the users in china and the smtp servers here 
locally. ideas anyone?
