FWIW, I hadn't heard that buzzword and thus tried to decipher what it might mean.  My best guess was that it meant they 
had signed over all rights on e-mail which I found rather disturbing.

Oh, sorry. We *weren't* playing buzzword bingo?

You outsourced it. Period.  "right-sourced" has *zero* semantic meaning, since
it apparently means "choosing the best in/out/open/closed source".  But
think about it for a moment - does *anybody* ever intentionally choose the
*wrong* one, based on the criteria on the table at the time?

Sorry, but it needed saying. Carry on... ;)
