Re: stupid but complicated email problem

OK if I understand this correctly then I know what your problem is. On your
ISP mail server you have email accounts that correspond with your AD email
accounts? So when I send an email form outside to theboss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
your AD has a corresponding POP3 account called theboss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so
when mail arrives to your exchange server it knows where to deliver the
email. Correct? So you created 2 new external email addresses we'll call
them boss1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and boss2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Question: When your boss emails from work to boss1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and
boss2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx where is he expecting the email to be delivered? Unless
you have setup corresponding POP3 accounts on your exchange server the only
place he can retrieve them is from the external web server.
Make sense? Works just like his theboss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx So if he wants to be
able to retrieve emails at work for boss1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and
boss2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx you need to setup corresponding POP3 accounts or he can
log into the external web server from work to "read" them there. There is
nothing in place for these emails to be delivered to. Hope this helps and
that I got all the facts right.
