I'd have liked to do that. However:

1. They're not using sendmail. They're using Windows.
2. They're in France, and needed something working ASAP.
3. I didn't fancy doing telephone support at international call rates
   explaining to my non-computer literate parents how to configure
   Pegasus to use SMTP AUTH when I don't even know myself -- I'd just
   play around with the menu options until I found it. That's not an
   option for them, though...

Trust me, I know exactly how poor a solution it is. But it was what
I could get working at the time, and I'll be able to turn it off in
a week or so.
