[fetchmail]Fetchmail and a Barracuda

We've just recently deployed a Barracuda spam filtering device and have
been quite pleased with its performance.  I've been tasked with finding
a way to use the device to filter some of our clients home/isp email
accounts.  I believe that I could use fetchmail to retrieve the messages
via POP, change the To address from user@ISP.com to something like
user_ISP.com@filteringservicedomain.com, and redeliver the message to
the Barracuda filtering box.
The Barracuda would then filter the mail and deliver to a mail server
for filteringservicedomain.com.

Is this within the capabilities of fetchmail or am I a little off base.
Would I be able to have fetchmail deliver to the Barracuda via SMTP or
would it need to go through a local MTA?  Thanks for the help.
