Exchange for 150 users but only 10 desktops connecting to the domain

I have a customer who primarily uses webmail.  I want to set them up on exchange (OWA) and I think they would be a GREAT candidate for SBS (2003 or 2008?).  But they have about 150 people using email but only approx 10-15 desktops needing domain access.  I know SBS is good for "75 desktop users" (according to MS website) but is there not a way to distinguish between an exchange user or "desktop users"?  I'm trying to avoid a full blown exchange server....any help or recommendations would be great.  

thanks in advance!

You need to migrate them to another platform.  With 150 users the company is violating licensing.

they arent using it yet.  as i said........... "I want to set them up on exchange (OWA) and I think they would be a GREAT candidate for SBS (2003 or 2008?)"
OWA requires a full CAL... so you cannot do this with SBS.  You can look into EBS though - that supports up to 300 users (though I've heard some conflicting reports that it goes as high as 500).
