MS Licesnsing questions are best asked and answered by MS as they are
authoritative for this information.

Yes, as long as the 'user' has authenicated to the SBS domain. However, the
user would need a seperate Exchange CAL for access another server not in the
SBS Exchange Organization. If it was a seperate Exchange 2003 CAL, then that
would also give them Outlook rights. If Excahneg 2007, then no Outlook
rights are included with the Excahneg 2007 CAL.

If not using the SBS CAL for SBS then I wouldn't expect you'd be under the
EULA on this one. I would guess, Yes, you should not use Outlook without
SBS.
