Thanks, Brett.
Actually, we have no control over the POP3 server. We have a domain
(something.com) which also offers us 100 POP3 accounts (at a price). We use
Outlook (or any other email client, for that matter) to access and reply to
our email on this server. To make it easier for our users, we have
configured their Exchange smtp addresses to be identical to those of the
POP3 server. In case I've not been clear here, let me try and give you
examples:-
We have, say, 100 users in total, all of whom have Exchange LAN emails, but
only 90 have external emails.
Thus:
Exchange 2003 - 100 users, each with email address user@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Our POP3 server - 90 users, each with email address user@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Using Outlook, we've set up on our users' computers, both Exchange to send
and receive internal (LAN) email and a POP3 client to send and receive our
external email.
The problem is, because of management policy, as mentioned above, not all of
our users are privileged to have external email. Therefore, those who do,
sometimes end up sending email via our POP3 client to our internal
recipients, and, naturally an error results. To clarify:-
useronLAN@xxxxxxxxxxxxx has only a LAN email account and can send and
receive internal email.
useroutside@xxxxxxxxxxxxx has both LAN and POP3 access and can send and
receive all email.
When useroutside@xxxxxxxxxxxxx sends to anotheruseroutside@xxxxxxxxxxxx
using her POP3 account, her emails go out and are received without a
problem.
But if useroutside@xxxxxxxxxxxxx sends to useronLAN@xxxxxxxxxxxxx using her
POP3 account, her emails go, but generate an NDR (and are not received by
useronLAN@xxxxxxxxxxxxx), obviously, because useronLAN@xxxxxxxxxxxxx doesn't
have an external email account.
We thought that, if we could somehow get our POP3 email into all our users'
Exchange mailboxes, that would end our problem, as Exchange would then take
care of SMTP-ing all outgoing email and deliver everything correctly.
Hope all this is clear and do-able at our end.
Thanks a lot for all your help.

I don't beleive there is any way to have Exchange POP the mail down for
you.
Do you have control over this POP3 server? If so you could just set it up
to
accept mail from the outside world and then forward to the Exchange
Server,
effectively turning your POP3 Server into an SMTP gateway.
Without knowing the exact purpose of your POP3 server it is hard to make
recommendations.

We
have an external POP3 email server (mail.something.com) ... how do I
configure Exchange to receive email from this server?
At present we have the cumbersome process of having two systems in
Outlook
clients. One exchange email and another POP3 email client set up. And
it's
driving me mad!
Please help.
