According to a message posted to one of the EL support newsgroups a
while back, they run a separate SMTP AUTH mail server that will work as
you describe.  It's not the same server that customers use from an EL
line, however.

I haven't actually used this server.  I also don't know if it's a
permenant thing or if it's just an experiment at this time.
