This sounds like you want to implement the same type of functionality
that's built into Junkspy, but with different procession logic.
Rollin is much better versed the details and the gotcha, but I can give
you the basics.

You do it the other way about. You tell NS to talk to your module by
telling it to talk to your IP address (192.168.x.x). You then set your
module up to listen for requests addressed to the SMTP and POP3 ports at
this address. Since you are the only module at your address listening to
these ports your will get all the traffic. The store and forward details
are where it gets interesting and really depend on what you really mean by
monitor.

Nope. You will have to string them together by port addresses.
