We call this stamp jacking.

We do find some companies send us mail which needs to be forwarded on to
someone else.

Often we have printed the message, popped it in an envelope and stamped it
before we realise.

We can waste lots of stamps every day with bad mail

So to be able to exchange mail with other servers would be great,  but to do
it in a secure way and therefore waste no more stamps, I would not even dare
to hope such a thing may one day exist.

  If you do develop such a beast, perhaps you could consider in-built
mechanisms to exchange public and private keys, thereby avoiding the
potential for other unscrupulous companies to hijack your server and send
unsolicited messages?  That would be great!  :-)

  The only down side to using stamps is the extra paper and printing costs.

  Our exchange server receives around 3000 emails a day from the internal
users. We print these emails out along with an address label. These are then
packed into an envelope, addressed and stamped ready for postage.

  We also receive around 4000 letters a day which we open and type into
Exchange so our users can view them electronically.

  With a mail staff of 42 we can deliver and retype all mail  within 6
hours.

  I dont know how we managed before we got the Exchange server but I do
dream of the time when someone will develop a mechanism by which exchange
servers and other mail servers could talk to each other. The time saved
printing, posting and retyping mail would be a huge cost saving for all.
They could call is something like Simply Mail To People.

  Any one fancy trying to develop that?
