There is another problem with users roaming onto a network where there
is no outbound SMTP allowed. Webmail could be a solution but people just
wanting to sent e-mail don't want to spend the sime to go through all
the pages of a webmail server. And when they use cellphones they will
get a big bill because of the time and/or amount of data.
