| No, JP.  Their SCO system is not used for e-mailing at all at this
| time.  They really want to send the e-mails through their Exchange
| Server.

Then let them set up MMDF or Sendmail, whichever they're using, to point
outgoing email to the Exchange Server (though for my money, that's really
silly: let the SCO box just send the mail directly to its destination.)
