Hmm.  Have you considered spooling their mail via UUCP, and having them do
uucp-over-tcp to pick it up?  With care, sendmail can completely paper over
the primitive transport so that as long as no one looks at the Received: lines,
they need not know that uucp was involved.

That also makes it easier to receive compressed netnews, too :-).
