Yes, setting up a 587 submit server internally would be best, but

I don't know what SMTP server you're using, but on Postfix you just
need to uncomment one line in master.cf, do a reload and that's it.
it takes less than a minute to do it on server. YMMV.
Would that it were so easy :) You also have the more daunting task
of hooking up your auth/aaa infrastructure with your MTA's, and all
of the care and feeding that entails.

IIRC the OP said that he was already doing AUTH on port 25, and this
was the basis for my email stating it's quite easy.


Correct on all accounts.  I got 587 up and running last week.
