Hi Mark,
First of all, thanks for replying.
Yes the plan is to actually pay for hosted exchange in a few weeks time..
Simply because we don't want to have the headache of fixing email when things
go wrong or ADSL line goes down for some reason... and other reasons that no
doubt will get me pulling what's left of my hair...
So for the time being we are using POP from our current external provider.
Is there a quick fix for this?
I've been reading something about setting the "Forward all mail with
unresolved recipients to host". Am I reading along the right lines? I've
tested putting the smtp url (i.e: smtp.ourcompany.co.uk) in there and
restarted the SMTP virtual server but the emails but stuck. Through Message
Tracking Center I can see the messages are stuck at "SMTP: Message Routed and
Queued for Remote Delivery"
Just to clarify things better our domain DNS rocords are linking to our
hosting company - nothing is pointing to our win2003 SBS server. We are only
using the server's exchange SMTP to send out emails as there are limitations
with the current hosting co.
I'm concerned that there will also be limitations in the future when we move
to the hosted exchange solution for sending emails - the same sort of
limitations we have today with our POP hosting company.
Other than hosting our own email, what do you suggest?
Many thanks,
Tony

Hi all,
Our company is small with limited IT knowledge and therefore we still use a
hosting company to host our email.
We connect to it via POP to download email and use our SMTP server (in
Exchange) for sending general and mass mail to all our clients on a monthly
basis as our hosting company has a limit as to how many recipients can be
included in a single email therefore we have to rely on our own SMTP server
or pay bucket loads to relay email through other providers.
So that email shows that is being sent from ourcompany.co.uk domain and have
replies received through that domain, I have setup a rule under
Exchange->Recipients->Recipient Policies->Default Policy of type SMTP and
address @ourcompany.co.uk and set it as Primary.
Email is delivered successfully without a problem. The only issue I have is
that for those employees that are travelling and are downloading email from
our hosting company via POP these users are not seeing emails as all emails
are delivered locally and stay on the local mail store in our own exchange.
They will only see emails when they come back to the office.
Yes there are ways around getting the users to download from both hosting
company POP and connecting directly to our Exchange server either via OWA or
via POP or other means but I was wondering if there is a way to force all
emails to be routed for remote delivery so that emails send through our SMTP
server from u...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx are all routed to our hosting company –
then the remote users will be able to download these emails via POP without
having to configure their laptops or PCs to connect to our exchange!
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.
Tony
You're planning on hosting and are using POP?
That's not exactly silly but it's not far off.

Why not use IMAP?
