In which case, the telecommuters should use their organization's mail servers with SMTP authentication (yes, authentication, not pop-before-smtp). If I'm a corporation, and you're my employee, you should be using my VPN, not sending mail from your unsupported remote installation running sendmail, qmail, exim, postfix, or whatever. As for the business people, can't give you any advice there. Maybe it's time to invest in some mail services from mail.com, Critical Path, or maybe even your ISP.
