Setup an SMTP Relay for Scanner to Domain Users

Customer has scanner that sends jobs to users via email. Exchange server WAS on local subnet.
Exchange server is now cloud based (not on local subnet)
Exchange server will not accept email from Scanner for relay because it is not on the local subnet (or VPN to cloud Exchange)
Can another Exchange server (mine) be setup to accept email from the scanner via the internet, then forward it to the intended user's email address (Not on my exchanger server)
If so, how? If so, how risky?

as long as your office has a static IP address they could add an exception and allow relaying for your ip address which could solve your issue.

I will try that, but they have indicated a great deal of inflexability during my previous attempts to resolve the issue with them. It certainly would be easier. In anticipation of no flexability on their part, I am attempting to craft a Plan B here......

I believe this soluton would probably work, but I ended up using a 3rd party SMTP relay (MailJet.com.
