What are other corporations and institutions who use GroupWise doing

What I have done for clients with existing mail servers that I don't
know how to configure (e.g. Exchange - it doesn't matter if Exchange
can actually work properly unless there is someone who knows how
to make it do so) is to put a Linux system running sendmail in front
of it on the internet (nothing against postfix and qmail, I have just
learned how to make sendmail sing and dance for me).
If Groupwise can't handle SMTP AUTH, then put in a Linux server that
can. You can still use the Groupwise server for internal SMTP,
and make the Linux server available for external users that wish to
send mail from college.edu that passes SPF.

But our smtp server is not listening on port 587. Would we have to
set up a second smtp server and have it listening on port 587 just for
these users?
If listening on 587 is the only problem, then just run 'nc' or the
equivalent for your OS (nc is a generic proxy utility that simply
copies all data between two sockets) to listen on port 587 and connect
to port 25.
