hi-
to sort of answer your original question, DirectOS looks through your
system's registry for the default email server, take a look at the
scripts you use that are provided with DirectEmail to see exactly
what is looked for and where.
If the company has a web server that can be used then that would be
the best solution. if the mail is being sent to third-parties then
make sure that they allow relaying of messages (which they probably
won't want to allow). there are public mailservers, but I don't
know of any offhand.
just curious, does the message have to be sent as an email? have you
thought about just doing a postNetText to their server (assuming that
you are collecting info to send to the company)? if it is always
going to the same place then a simple postNetText might be all you
need (as well as backend of course)
all the best
