That would work.  I did not know you had Linux already running somewhere.

That would work.  That is essentially what MISER:: does - if you try to 
send non-DECNET mail, it forwards it to another host on my network (the 
main Linux box), which can speak the proper authentication and encryption 
to my ISP's mail server.  In fact, that's what all hosts able to send mail 
on my network do.

Then, the only thing needed is to configure your Linux machine to speak to 
your ISP with the proper encryption and authentication.  I normally use 
Postfix, but I am guessing configuration of exim is similar.
