Problem is, their mail is handled by a hosting provider. I tried to sell them on
an inhouse mailserver using IMAP, but they are 'concerned' about security and
reliability. These are the same people, of course, that when I first walked into
the place had the main fileserver's admin pass set to 'PASSWORD'.

This one client could keep me busy for years.
