Thanks for quick reply.
I dont have any DNS issue as the system is not yet up and running. still in
setup phase. AND all i want to setup is to receive internet mails from our
ISP (internetdomain.com) and route them to SBS clients.
-I dont understand when you said not to worry about POP3 protocol, SMTP will
handle the emails ? Do I not need the POP3 service starting to be able to
recieve pop3 emails from ISP and route it to the SBS clients?
2-How can i route emails coming to user1@domain.com to user2@domain.com? It
was easy in POP3 Connector but now i dont know where to set up the email
routing.
Regards
Koosha
