    They're sending mail from their cell phones, with a return-path of thier
    work address, with a forward path of their customers?

    I don't see how their firewall fits in - unless this is one of those
    "Phone is one of those multifunction PDA things sitting in a cradle?"

    If so, I'd relay those off a different internal server and let it make the
    relay choice based on the IP address.
