Look, I can argue against the idea easily, personally my objection is mail loops, but the point is that the customer demands it, and at present that prevents me bidding for certain types of business... Basically the customer just wants to repro what they got with Exchange
Then tell them their only option is to buy Exchange Server and Outlook for everyone - but explain that this 'feature' *still* will not work for recipients that are outside of your control (ie, it will only work for local recipients - and I *think* it is possible to set up Trusts with other external Exchange Servers, but not sure, and if it does, it requires the explicit cooperation of the other systems admin).
Bottom line: do NOT promise the impossible to a client just to win the business. It is a losing proposition, as you are beginning to see...
