It sounds like a proprietary system involving the phone itself as the
authenticator. Why not have your customer ask Quest what is going on. Asking
couldn't hurt...

Subject: Cell phone access to email


I am hoping someone can answer a question for me.  A customer of mine is
testing a new cell phone from Qwest.  It gives them access to cheap cell
phone connection and Internet mail.  The problem is it connects to
exchange
without a password.  I can see if qwest was the server location and they
were doing a copy of some sort, but the server is behind a firewall from
Qwest yet they are getting email to the phone both external and local.

Any Ideas?
