What could I do to have another server basically do nothign but recieve all the email allowing it to do the brunt of the attachment/virus cleaning and spam control and then passing it on to the server that holds all the info?
 
You use Exchange as a back end server and have a front end SMTP interface server to handle the bridgehead stuff, anti spam and anti virus. This can also be your OWA server too.

Have the front end relay mail to the back end. Have the Exchange server send mail to the front end. Have your MX record point at the front end.
 
Any good how-tos out there for implementing this on 2003?
