Password changes

I am trying to set a password policy for my network-
(Win2K, Exchange2K, desktops win2K and a few winXP).
Changing the passwords for the people who work on the LAN
is not a problem. However, most of the employees are
stationed at govt sites or work from home. They do not
access the LAN directly. They check their email via
webmail, POP3 or have it forwarded to a yahoo, aol, etc
account. I would like to have the people who check via POP
and webmail change passwords like the people on the LAN
will.
 
My problem: If I enforce the password policy change:

1. Will the email forwarding still work even if the
passwords are never changed? These people never access
their email directly. Or will I have to manually
check 'password never expires' on all the accounts?

2. For the people who POP their email, will they receive
notice to change the password or will it just stop working
once it is expired?

3. For the people who check email via webmail, will they
receive notice to change the password through webmail?

4. Finally, is there any way to apply the password policy
to certain people and not the entire domain?

thanks for any help...
