Everything needs to be kept contained within their business. They have told me that this will generally be the case for many corporate clients of their size and larger.

If the intranet is set up such that the emails can be obtained on the local network then, you can meet the requirements of IT by posting your data to an ip # on your company network.  You simply need to have PHP and a working email system installed on the receiving server/computer.

Alternatively, a database set up on a local server will also work.  I think the PHP solution my be easier.  I would show them the code I posted for you and have them give it a try.  We have found the solution to be very robust.
