Wouldn't you use the same SMTP server as the desktop clients?

yes, but i expect they would detect a batch of 500 emails as spam.
Perhaps I'm overthinking this. My experience has always been
to internal Exchange servers.

FWIW: Assuming it's approved, I'm hoping to do a session at the COMMON

conference in Reno on email security.
I'll be there!

We are going to press AT&T why we can't do this with current contract.

Some might, but I don't think MOST will.

If the recipient mail server is using a spam scanner such as
SpamAssassin,
using a non-business grade DSL line will certainly raise your spam
score.

As for an edge mail gateway, your best bet would be to deploy a Linux
LPAR running either Postfix or Sendmail. Both are excellent at what
they do.

Or install a Linux machine on a (relatively) inexpensive PC server to
act
as your public / internet facing mail server ... and I completely
agree
with Lukas on Postfix & Sendmail.
