Well, if you have really terminantly brandamaged clients, DRAC will
do what you need.  Otherwise, instructing the users to use authenticated
SMTP would be the standard-compliant, tried and proven way to fix the issue
permanently.  They already have pop/imap login accounts, and it should be
easy to make the relay MTA authenticate against the same user directory.

It also produces much better trace logs with most MTAs :-)
