Robert,

Actually after looking at it closer, it is happening on
new mails, which are not mails going to users on the
exchange server. It is actually Internet email addresses.

I have noticed before that sometimes exchange will ignore
anything to the right of the @ sign on an email address
and try to look for a user who is not actually in the
exchange server and then return it as undeliverable.

For example
bill@whateverdomain.com, which is an internet email
address, attempt to deliver to Bill in the Exchange
server. It will get returned because Bill does not have
an exchange server account, but he has a username of bill
in Active directory.

anyhow, I agree with you the Exchange server is "taking
over" new outbound internet messages. So can I get
Exchange to ignore those and allow them to be sent out
via pop3 settings of Internet pop3 account in Outlook?

Or maybe can I get Exchange to forward all outbound
requests to a pop3 server that I control?
