Yuck. If this is POP3 from multiple ISPS, it sounds like a nightmare
- I am not that fimiliar with the POP3 connector in SBS, but it sounds
like it is dropping down to you as the postmaster because it can't
find a recipient to deliver the mail to. This is because POP3 was
designed to handle mail for one user only, and so the envelope
information from the message is removed. Imagine having a mail room
full of opened letters with no envelopes; you have to go on
information on the letter itself to try and get the mail delivered to
the right person - for example, on the letter's header.
I am not sure of your arrangements, but would it be easier to try and
get some sort of email forwarding in place at the ISP end? For
example:
sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --> jone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[...]
There are lots of places that will provide this very cheaply, and it
would mean that everything comes at the Exchange box destined for the
one domain - which of course, you are having serviced via SMTP
delivery?
Thanks.
Andrew.
