Exchange 200X Email Emulation

I need to virtualize a small network that includes Exchange 2003 and test
various mail configurations without a live connection to the Internet. Is
there some way I can emulate incoming email to the Exchange server?

This doesn't have too much to do with VPC, but I did find this via
Google
(http://www.google.com/search?source=...ad+simulator):

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Load Simulator (LoadSim)

Steve,

Thanks very much for the pointer to the load simulator. I'm embarrased
that, with an Exchange 2003 certification, I didn't know of this.

No need to be embarrassed - that's just way it is with Microsoft
"certification"... Looks good on paper, but to all intents and purposes
worthless in the real world...
