How use Email Response to +1000 profile?

Question

Hi,
We have a requirements business, which our 1000 users will left use webmail/outlook. These users will only use Siebel to send/receive emails, but each employee we'll use a email account, so we'll have 1000 profiles using Email Response.
Oracle Support don't recommend use a huge number of profiles. But they don't recommend another solution.
ANYONE ALREADY IMPLEMENT THIS TECHNOLOGY? HOW CAN I USE SIEBEL, WITHOUT USE A OUTLOOK OR A WEBMAIL???
Features:
Siebel 8.0 - Windows 2003 Server - SQL Server 2005.
EMAIL Server - Send Mail server using POP and SMTP protocols.
Thank you!

If you know how to have an email sent to you as the site owner, then you know how to have another email sent to the submitter, its the same code with some different destinations.  So for example, if you have this for your script (assuming php) to process the information to be sent to you
$fname = ($_POST['fname']);
$lname = ($_POST['lname']);
$email =  ($_POST['email']);
//Sending Email to form owner
$header = "From: $email\n"
. "Reply-To:  $email\n";
$subject = "Submission From My Form";
$email_to =  "[email protected]";
$message = "name: $fname . $lname\n"
. "email:  $email\n";
@mail($email_to, $subject ,$message ,$header ) ;
You could simply change it to this: The email, header subject message have a _sub added to it to differentiate from the origianal script. I have also taken out the variables since they are already on the page.
//Sending Email to submitter
$header_sub = "From: $email\n"
. "Reply-To:  $email\n";
$subject_sub = "Submission From My Form";
$email_to_sub =  "$email";     /*      This has been changed to the email address of submitter*/
$message_sub = 'Put whatever message you want here.';
@mail($email_to_sub, $subject_sub ,$message_sub ,$header_sub ) ;
Now with both scripts, the owner and submitter get an email.
