At my business I'm required to send and receive all email through our
corporate servers for security reasons. This is done simply with a
POP3/SMTP
configuration in Outlook 2003. That 'email account' on each machine,
therefore, needs to be set as the default. We also use our own Exchange
email through our SBS machine for internal office email. The problem is
that
it would seem every time the SBS is restarted or in any way changed, all
of
the client machines in the office change the default email account from
the
POP3/SMTP to the Exchange account (normally listed as a secondary
account).
This is terrible because any new email sent on the client machines (with
no
reason to think anything has changed) is sent through the Exchange
account
rather than the required POP3/SMTP account. The employees have noticed
and
try to watch out for it, but we can't be constantly worrying about
whether or
not Outlook 2003 and the SBS have changed the default email account
without
our knowledge.
HELP!  How can I stop this from happening???

Why not simply configure Exchange to use your corporate servers as a smarthost? (this is an option in CEICW, or you can do it manually through Exchange System Manager).


Though it seems a little odd that you have "corporate servers" as well as SBS...
