    Well, I suppose this is a workable solution, but somewhat of a pain from
    an administration standpoint. I'm looking trying to set up the internal
    mail server the same way as the gateway server (for sending mail anyhow)
    so that my users don't have to change their client configurations
    depending on whether or not they're in the office or on the road.
    Unless this option will work if the client is also configured to use
    authentication.

    I guess, seeing as how I haven't set up authentication up until now, I'm
    not quite sure if the client software, upon connecting to a server that
    doesn't support authentication, will just ignore that fact and try to
    send without authenticating.

    I guess I'm just looking at this from an administration standpoint, and
    a "can I keep my users from 'seeing the man behind the curtain'?"
    standpoint.
