I understand, but your company's mail access methodology should not be
dictated by users, honestly. He's losing out on most of Exchange's features,
you can't guarantee his mail will even stay on the server. I discourage this
....in fact, I have no place where I permit it. I'm kinda mean like that.
People put up with me being bossy because their stuff works well when they
let me do things my way. I suspect this is a training issue....try showing
him how OL2003 and cached mode make things faster, and give him access to
public folders, his calendar, out of office, etc.... RPC over HTTPs is very
nice indeed.

Yep.

The ISP probably blocks it.

It wouldn't matter, because he can't get to your server anyway. You can
telnet without being permitted to relay, and if you can't telnet, you sure
can't relay. :)
