Hmm....  Just thinking about it, you could instruct your users to
utilize your OX server for outgoing SMTP.

Modify the SMTP on the OX box.  Have  the SMTP on the OX box push the
email to your firewall/gateway......

Tell OX to utilize the local SMTP....

I think that should do it...

Next question is about a good SMTP that works on your platform of
choice and has footers....
