No can do ->  Here's why:

We're like a franchise, in a way. We have no control over the corporate
servers. We operate a small office and are independantly owned, but we
answer to our corporate name.
We got a SBS because we needed file management, calendar sharing, etc.
We
also take advantage of the email provided for internal use only. The
problem
is that anything we send to a client/customer MUST be done through
corporate's servers (the POP/SMTP settings in our client computer's
Outlook
settings). This is for compliance reasons etc.
Every time a user logs on or off of a computer, the SBS goes ahead and
changes the Outlook settings to make Exchange as the default account,
not the 
POP/SMTP as we need it to be.
I realize I wasn't as clear in my first posting.. perhaps this can help
answer the question of how to stop the server from changing the client
comptuer's Outlook default email account settings back to Exchange.

Thank you for anything you can come up with!!!!

So, why can't you simply have Exchange route email through the corporate servers? Exchange can do that. The users send to Exchange, Exchange sends to corporate servers, corporate servers send to customer. Use the POP connector (if you really must) to pull out of corporate servers into Exchange for incoming.

This solution makes everyone happy.
