Thanks for your exceedingly polite response to all of my haranguing.
I think I finally understand what you were saying in your original
suggestion about getting away from the 15 minute interval.
Let me rephrase things.
If you want to use an email address in someone else's domain (without
forwarding) you have to use POP3 communication with that domain's email
server. That communication is limited to a connection every 15 minutes
because the communication is initiated on the SBS server side, and it is
considered in poor taste to keep beating on the door of the email provider
more often than that. However, you can get third party utilities that work
around the limitation.
OTH if you want to function in real time, set the server up to be receiving
via SMTP. Then any server who is sending mail will knock on the door as
often as is necessary and you will get real time behavior. This requires
that certain public records be set up on public DNS's. (This is the FQDN and
MX part of the puzzle.) And then all you have to do is set an old email
address at your ISP to be forwarded to the server.
Forwarding is not an option for me as far as I know so I never considered
the second possibility.
NOW I understand.
Wouldn't it be great if for a very small annual fee you could completely
blow off the old ISP and have the world wide DNS system know how to do the
forwarding? This would especially be nice if ISP's went out of business and
email addresses thereby became unusable. Too bad this was not part of the
original design as it is probably way too late now to add it in. One could
envision a service where you could register all your email addresses and
manage them all appropriately. Or am I once again showing my ignorance?
Thanks again for your patience.
Regards,
Al
