subject: SMTP transport agent?

 
I understand what Mercury is doing when it is dealing directly
with our Netware server .... such as pulling mail from a QUEUE
and sending it out _and_ receiving mail ..... but .....
we have a group in our building that only uses POP3 to access
mail from an outside provider and they too are using our SMTP
server according to the Mercury monitor.  The question becomes,
do they need ours or would their software go out and find 
another one?  I know there is nothing pointing their mailers
at ours and there are others available with no retrictions but 
not on our local net. They'd have to go through two routers
to the district DNS machine.
