To try and get these in order:

a) What we have is a D-Link DI-804V which is a "Cable/DSL
Residential Router." It's inexpensive and takes care of
what they need.

b) Using DHCP on the server isn't a problem, since they
are growing from using the router to handle IP requests to
wanting something closer to a dedicated server that's on
all the time (power consumption is much lower with the
router than a dedicated box.)

I can get mail to be outgoing now, but not incoming (which
you mentioned yourself, so I'll not beat myself up on it
anymore.) There is a registered domain name, but it's
hosted by someone else at another location, and they
weren't thinking of hosting it locally, yet (cost on a
dedicated IP, though they've had the same IP from the ISP
for almost 4 years because of that router that
automatically renews the lisence and it hasn't expired
yet.)

Lastly, the link you sent is for "How to Schedule
Unattended Backups Using a Stand-Alone Tape Library" Do
you have a better link?
