HI,
how many ISPs are we talking about? since u can probably make a simple script 
vbs/perl/whatever that uses http to send current nslookup and get xml/text data from 
your company web site which includes all known ISPS smtp addresses. this way, any 
addition of ISP can be realized quickly and be added to ur database by analyzing 
unknown http get call to ur xml/text page.
or if u still can't manage, just build a simple php page with execute code to change 
the smtp address automagicaly in the registry(windows)/mail settings
what do u think?

You're right, but they are *salespersons*. I was solving exactly the
same problem a month ago, and when I advised our travellers just to use
ISP SMPT servers, they even didn't ask what SMTP is, they just told they
weren't ready to mess with technical issues (and, to be frank, I prefer
to sleep at night rather than be awaken in the middle of the night with
phone calls screaming "it does not send my email!", if they forgot or
just do not know how to found out what their current ISP is and what its
SMTP server is).
So who cares? I installed SMTP AUTH and let these guys sit for hours in
front on ther laptops waiting for their messages (sometimes - with some
graphics attachments) to be delivered though dial-up.
