Many Many moons ago I did a similar thing, at the time Genesee (who was
supporting posthaste at the time) also made some gateway software for
Posthaste to Exchange. It was easy to set up and allowed us to migrate
everyone at our leisure, it also allowed us to continue to use Posthaste for
sending messages from the HP for the few jobs that used it. I don't know if
Genesee is still around but you might want to try and track them down.
