Is there a good reason that you are short-circuiting the MTA?  Does he
really want to see the email only as it is fetched from POP?  Does he
really only care about /incoming/ email?

The obvious solution to me would be to just have the MTA deliver a copy of
all incoming (and/or outgoing) mail to a special mail user, then let him
read the mail with his favorite MUA.
