We use forwarders for such tasks. Jim, our lead forwarder, says that it
takes a lot of patience and a good HMO (due to excessive paper cuts) but
the job is a pretty secure one.
Speaking of secure, why would you ever need public or private keys when
you can always used armed courier and flash paper? If someone tries to
hijack it, the paper incinerates. Yeah, you lose the paper and probably
the courier, but here in corporate America, we call it collateral
damage. I suppose an electronic form of secure mail might keep all of
those bleeding heart liberals quiet about unnecessary loss of life, but
who are we kidding here? Such a thing is light-years from even a
conceptual phase.
We do occasionally get mail that is addressed incorrectly though. Kind
of messes up the whole system. We finally decided to hire someone to
take these messages and store them in a bad mail bin until we can later
figure out how to best handle them. Worse than that though is all of the
junk mail. We are calling it spam now, because the first one we got was
from Hormel. It sucks having to read through all of this junk mail to
separate the official from the spam. I guess there will be another
couple of job openings at stone-age inc.
If anyone knows of some sort of program or automated system, (maybe with
robots) that would do all of this for us, I'd really like to know of it.
The savings would be great. Not to mention how it would knock Jim off of
his high horse.

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?
