Thanks, it feels like I am getting close but the article states that it
assumes that the Exchange server accepts incoming mail from the internet. In
my case the Exchange server does NOT accept mail directly from the internet.
They do not host there own e-mail. The current incoming process of mail is
someone sends a mail to companyname.com. That mail goes to the External
e-mail provider. The client has Outlook with both external pop3 and internal
Exchange mail accounts set up. The mail gets delivered to the client via pop3
from the external hosting provider. The clients delivery location is set to
the internal Exchange mail server (Instead of to a local .PST file on the
clients computer). After the client downloads the external pop3 message the
client forwards it to the Exchange server. So the Exchange server is getting
the mail from the client and not the internet. The article also states that
it does NOT apply to Exchange servers that are the last system on the chain.
It looks like in this situation - the Exchange server is the last system on
the chain. Why would someone want to do something like this? Because they do
not want to host there own e-mail, Shared calendars and a company calendar
are very important. It also serves as an easy way to backup all of the
clients e-mail because it can be backed up on the Exchange server instead of
having to deal with backing up or relocating the .pst files hidden several
directories down on all the clients. workstations.

I have a client who uses Exchange 2003 solely for The calendar sharing
functions. Their e-mail is hosted externally. They do not want to host
their
own mail. All of the Outlook 2003 clients are configured with the external
pop3 account and and internal Exchange account. The mail from the default
pop3 account on the client is delivered to the Exchange mailbox. The
problem
is when users try to send mail to someone inside of the company through
there
address book it does not send. When adding internal users to the address
book, the user populates the mail type as "EX" instead of SMTP. Therefore
when sending to someone internally the mail is sent as user@xxxxxxxxxxxx
instead of user@xxxxxxxxxxx It works if the user manually types the e-mail
address but not with the address book. When having to send to several
internal users at a time, it is difficult for the user. The default smtp
address in recipient properties is domain.com NOT domain.local. However
the
mail still does not go through because the client is sending with the
.local
address and the external mail server does not understand .local when
sending.
Sending to external users works fine. The problem is sending to internal
users. Sending with the global address book does not work. I am wondering
what is the best way to set up the Exchange server and the Clients so that
when mail is sent to someone internally from the address book or global
address book it does not leave the internal Exchange server and gets
delivered to the internal recipient mailbox but also sends to external
recipients. What should be the default account for sending on the
clients -
the external pop3 or exchange? Should Exchange be setup to forward all out
going mail to the external SMTP server? If so how do I configure this? Or
should Exchange be the outgoing SMTP server and forget about the external
SMTP server? Or should it relay to the external SMTP? The main goal is to
be
able to sucessfully send mail to internal users on the same Exchange
server
through the address book as well as external users. If that means sending
mail out to the external SMTP and having it come back then so be it.
Currently when sending mail to internal users from the address book does
not
work. It is pulling the .local address from exchange and trying to send
out
to the external smtp server with the .local address. The external smtp
server
does not understand the .local address. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
