RE: Sending email via ISP for selected users...

Hi Jon,

Thanks for your update.

I am sorry for the delayed response due to weekend. Please understand that
the newsgroups are staffed weekdays by Microsoft Support professionals to
answer your systems and applications questions. Your understanding is
greatly appreciated!

The OWA is Outlook Web Access. It is an interface that users access
mailboxes on Exchange server through it.

You can try your solution and let me know the result. Please feel free to
let me know if you need further assistance to the issue. I am happy to be
of assistance to you.

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu

Jenny:

Thanks for your extensive reply. I'm not sure what you are referring to
when you use the abbreviation OWA. I might know what it is but I'm not
familier with that abbreviation.

I think what we might to is this. Create a new contact in Exchange for
the
PDA user. Turn on the POP3 connector for the user. When email arrives
send
a copy to the new contact (using an email address from the phone
provider).
I haven't implemented this yet but this is what I'm considering doing.

Our SBS implementation is pretty 'deep' behind firewalls, etc., so at this
time I really don't want to open it up.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup.

From your description, I understand that you want to know if selected
users' emails can be delivered to ISP and then retrieved to exchange
server. If I am off base, please don't hesitate to let me know.

In SBS 2003 environment, there are two mail delivery method types:

1. Using DNS to resolve the domain name for an e-mail directly.
2. Forward all mail to an existing SMTP server (usually run by an ISP)

We only can choose one method to configure the email server.

From your description, you may use DNS to resolve the domain name for an
e-mail. In this way, emails are sent directly to the domain, they do not
hold by ISP and you can not configure some selected users' emails
retrieved
by ISP. However in this way, users can use OWA to access their mailboxes
from internet, enable Activesync to synchronize emails to their smart
phones/PDA (Blackberry, Treo, and so on) besides using Outlook to check
emails.

Suggestion 1: To make users can access their mailboxes from internet
easily, we need publish OWA site to internet. To publish OWA to
internet,
we can Run CEICW (Configuration E-mail and Internet Connection wizard)
to
open related ports in firewall (80,443,25)

*Note: If you have installed any hardware firewall or router outside the
network, you need manually open related ports (80, 443,25) on the
hardware
firewall or router.

1. Expand Standard Management | To Do List.
2. Click Connect to the Internet in the right pane.
3. Navigate the wizard to Firewall and then select Enable firewall. In
the
next page, make sure items you want to publish services are checked in
services configuration page.
4. Click Next and then select Allow access to the following web site
services from the internet.
5. Make sure "Outlook Web Access" is selected and click Next.
6. Click Create a new Web services certificate (input your FQDN as the
web
server certificate) and then click Next.
7. Following the wizard to finish it.

And then the users can access the OWA using URL:
https://publicFQDN/exchange.

It is recommended you take a look at the following KB article to get
detail
steps to configure network connection:

825763 How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server
2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=825763

Suggestion 2: Also you can setup the server ActiveSync between Smart
phone/PDA and the Exchange server and users can download emails to their
smart phones and check them conveniently.

I would like to suggest you configure the Server ActiveSync as follows
in
SBS 2003 environment:

I. Re-run the CEICW wizard (server management console -> E-mail and
Internet -> connect to the internet), ensure to check the OMA (Outlook
Mobile Access) option in the "Web Services Configuration" page, this
will
configure the System to allow OMA and "Server ActiveSync" access from
the
Internet. Note that if you installed ISA on the SBS 2K3, please do run
the
CEICW again to re-allow OMA.

It is recommended you take a look at the following KB article to get
detail
steps to configure network connection:

825763 How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server
2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=825763

II. Connect the PDA to a client workstation in LAN. The client
workstation
must be setup using the SBS Set Up Computer Wizard. During the Set Up
Computer Wizard, the option to install ActiveSync 3.7 must be configured
as
well.

If this is pushed to the client machine, then there will be an option in
the Start Menu called Mobile Device Configuration. Click Mobile Device
Configuration and then it should be able to provision your phone or PPC
(including installing the certificate) so that the Server ActiveSync
works.
Follow the Mobile Device Configuration to configure your PDA. After the
configuration process successfully, the PDA can synchronize with
exchange
server if the wireless connection is setup when you boss on business
travel.

For more detail information, you can take a look at the following
article:
Exchange 2003 Deployment Guide

8FBB-FE6339FFA1ED&displaylang=en

Chapter 8: Configuring Exchange Server 2003 for Client Access.

Hope above information helps! I am happy to be of assistance to you and
look forward to your reply.

Have a nice day!

Jenny Wu

In most cases it is ok for the SBS Exchange server to 'intercept' the
email
intended for others in our office (i.e. they are in the same domain).

However, there are a select few that need their internal mail to
actually
go
to the ISP before they download it (they are not configured in the POP3
connector).

There are a few users that need to see their email on their Blackberry,
Treo, etc., before they return to their office and view it in Outlook.

Our SBS server is not available from the Internet.

How does one configure this? I have yet to find any documentation on
how
to
do this?

Thanks.
