Re: Exchange PLUS POP3

We originally were a POP3 users with our own Exchange Server setup on our
SBS 2003 box. I have since switched over and we are now hosting our own SMTP
Exchange Server. All email is delivered directly to us now. However we still
use our mail providor as a backup so we still maintain POP3 mailboxes on
their mail servers so if our Exchange server goes down we can log onto their
webmail page and receive email.
We have this email where if a client also uses the same ISP mail servers
then their email never leaves their mail servers thus it never gets
delivered to our Exchange server. We need to login to the POP3 mailboxes to
retrieve them We you can pretty much tell that this was not acceptable to
the boss. So I configured our Exchange server to also go out and pull down
POP3 mail from the ISP mail servers to our SMTP Exchange server. The default
and fastest setting is every 15 minutes. So you have two options here. you
can do what I do above or you can create another user account in the bosses
Outlook pointing to the ISP POP and SMTP servers and all he has to do is hit
the Send/Receive button to download the POP3 mail. It does not do it
automatically when you open Outlook. The drawback to using and ownloading
POP3 directly to Outlook is you cannot filter SPAM or Viruses on the POP3
connector like you can on the SMTP connector. You would have to purchase a
3rd party software to filter the POP3 connector. hope this helos you.

Running SBS 2003R2. Users email is routed via SMTP. Owner has seperate
POP3
email address he wants to see in Outlook and send from Outlook with both
email addresses maintaining their individuality. Thus far, ISA2004 is
blocking POP3 on the SBS Internet User Policy, I'm not sure why. The
policy
looks like it's all allowed. At this point, I only have the POP3
configured
on the users Outlook. What might I be missing?
