Replying to my own post. Now that I think of it, why bother? There is no rule that says clients send from the same server they receive at. Set up SIMS as the SMTP out server and list his IPs in the client section of SIMS. since he won't have any successful checks, nobody with auth against it. He can also migrate POP3 clients to it at his convenience.
SIMS box=SMTP.Whoever.net NS1.1 box=mail.whoever.net This way he can be protected as fast as fedex can deliver him a refurb mac from one of the resellers.
