Re: HELP Stop SBS SMTP

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks Dave for getting back to me.

I tried the CEICW
it seemed to reset some of my earlier problems.
so I went into the SMTP virutual server and made the changes
in there. so now when I send email it's showing up in the proper mail boxes :)
ahhhh.

I think exchange is ok. but I run a hosting company and use Surgemail by
Netwin.
although the gui is not a pretty as exchange it's much faster, leaner and
does the best job on spam that I have ever seen any ISP or Exchange box
Provide. also the cost for this product is pennies compaired to exchange.

thanks again for your help.

Not sure I have this right. If I send a message to user1@xxxxxxxxxx right
now, it'll end up in the correct place (the webmail system), but if you send
one from your desk, it goes to the user's Exchange mailbox instead of the
webmail interface. And you want all the messages to go to the webmail from
both external and internal senders?

If that's correct, the simplest way to accomplish it is to re-run the CEICW.
Choose the "do not change" option on every page until you get to e-mail
addressing. Then, where you've currently got it set to domain.com, change
it to domain.local. That should keep Exchange from thinking it's
responsible for the .com address, and it should then begin sending messages
addressed to .com to the external address. Test it first, though, and
advise the users that they need to make sure they're using .com when sending
to their co-workers.

As a huge fan of Exchange, I always assume it's the best answer in every
case, although I do acknowledge that not everyone may agree. Anyway, I
wonder if you'd be happier with Exchange configured conventionally to be
responsible for the .com mail. Then just have Exchange forward a copy of
all messages to the external mailboxes. The biggest pro in my mind is that
it lets you use all the other features of Exchange (calendaring, tasks,
public folders, etc.), while still getting e-mail delivered to the external
address as your situation requires. The con is that it requires separate
addresses for the external mailboxes.

So if you have dave@xxxxxxxxxx and dave@xxxxxxxxxxx, you'd just create an AD
Contact called something like Dave's Webmail with the dave@xxxxxxxxxxx
address. Then in Dave's properties in AD, go to the Exchange General tab
and click Delivery Options. Enter in the contact as a forwarding address,
and click the box to deliver messages to both addresses (mailbox and
external).

They work in and out of the office. and yes they are using outlook remote
access. however they have lot's more features with our WEB mail service
also
it's much faster and easier to access the web mail than to use outlook web
access.

lastly when we send out invoices from quickbooks no matter what i change
it
seems to mess up the attachment. i turned off the html and forced the
plain
txt which seems to correct most of the problems re attachments but not
all.
so to make my life easier I would like to completly by pass the exchange
server and forward to my Mail server.

I have a SBS 2003 server on our network.
I also have a seperate domain name that has nothing to do with the
SBS2003.
and this is what all our emails are based on. this seperate domain. so
user1@xxxxxxxxxx up to user4@xxxxxxxxxx

I send an email to user1@xxxxxxxxxx he will get his email in outlook no
problem. but not to his web mail. that he uses at home to check his mail.
it
seems like exchange say's hey i know user1 so i don't need to send this
to
the outside SMTP Server I'll just put it in his mail box. but in fact I
want
Exchange to send all email to the outside server and not use itself at
all.

any thoughts please help.

thanks
