Thanks for that Gary, it explains a lot, I knew it worked last time with
SBS2000.
It's a pain when Microsoft alter these types of things, I'm all for
innovation and development, but I have numerous small business that are
using SBS2000 on ISDN or ADSL that have Domain Websites and email hosted at
the ISP or specific domain hosting companies, where we have configured the
Pop Connector to download email from an catch-all account then exchange sort
it at this end. The only good thing is that these companies have less than
15 employees so I suppose I could set up individual Pop accounts, but as I
said before that's a pain, and with individual logins open to mistakes and
unreliability.
