Re: 2 locations sharing email domain through external hosting server

I'm just thinking out loud here but... couldn't you (or why wouldn't you)
just add user accounts for those remote users to SBS and have exchange fetch
their email and setup rpc over https on the remote machines so those users
can get the mail from exchange? That way they can take advantage of all of
the features exchange has to offer (contact sharing, calendar sharing, owa,
etc...)
