Well,
his CRM app is out of date and will not function much longer given the spam
filtering that's going on. Time to get him into a solution that will work on
your servers or send him off to Salesforce.com

Ok, so other listservs aren't an option....then
we're down to using a different SMTP server (yours or someone
else's) on port 587 so it doesn't get blocked by his network
provider.

Won't work because of the application he's
using. He uses a CRM application with its own mail client. Mailing
lists would be redundant and a little more than he could probably handle (he's
not that well versed and needs some hand holding most of the time with this
stuff).
I considered setting him up with IMail and
letting him use something like an alternate port relay service, but it won't
work if there is no way for IMail to send in batches. The CRM app won't
do this, as it just pumps out emails as fast as it can, so I need to have
something queue them and dole them out to the cable provider's SMTP server in
limited batches.

Why not sell him
a list service, host the list on your server, he sends one e-mail out to the
list which then sends to all his customers.

Can IMail be configured to send
emails in batches of say 50 through a relay host, or does anyone know of
something that will?
I have a customer that has no
choice of providers except a cable provider who recently started blocking
port 25 to all SMTP servers except their own and restricts emails to 50 in
one shot. His thought was to simply upgrade to their business class
service, but the only advantage of this was that they removed the port 25
block. They would still restrict him to 50
emails.
It only becomes a problem when
he does a broadcast message (price updates, etc.) to his
customers, but he does this at least once a week to around 2000
customers. This isn't spam, but mail to people that want his mailings
and do business with him regularly.
For the extra $70 the cable
company wants for the business class service, they shouldn't restrict
anything, but in their infinite wisdom they deem it necessary to choke the
hell out of business owners also.
