Re: Exchange: Routing of internal emails

Thanks, I appreciate the input.

Aside from this though, is there anyway to setup routing rules so that
particular internal emails get sent outwards first?

Thanks.

Let me start by saying that having just one network card isn't recommended
and it isn't secure.

I assume that you are behind a firewall or a router/firewall. Call your ISP
and ask them to help you setup an A and an MX record that points to the IP
address of your router. When that is done, re-run CEICW and you should be
all set.

The above assumes that you have a static IP address. If you have a dynamic
IP address you can setup an account with dyndns.com It is free and you can
accomplish what you need

It's a standard office server setup with SBS and a single network adapter.
I'm not very experienced with doing this sort of thing but I just went
through the wizards and configured it all that way.

For the domain name I selected <company_name>.local and I don't believe I
setup any sort of DNS settings or anything to allow users to access the
server a website (using the IP doesn't work either).

Currently the only way to connect to the server outside of the office is
to
setup a VPN connect to our IP.

If anyone could point me to some resources for setting it up the server so
it could be accessed like server.mydomain.com then I'd greatly appreciate
it.

Unfortunately that won't work as our server isn't setup as a
domain/configured with the DNS settings.

Any other way?

You don't have to configure VPN to use OWA

Tell your employee to open the browser and type:
http://yourserver.yourdomain.com/exchange

That will bring up the login screen for OWA and he will be able to get
his/her email.

I'm guessing you mean the Outlook Web Access you get when you
connect
via
VPN
and log on to the server's homepage?

I guess we could do that but it would mean he would always have to
connect
via VPN first to check his mail.

Or am I getting this wrong?

Other than that, is there a way to configure external routing?

Help appreciated!

Hi,

Any particular reason the employee doesn't use Outlook Web Access
to
access
the emails?

Hi all,

I've got Exchange server setup to check our office POP3 accounts.
However,
internal emails (i.e emails sent to addresses on our domain) are
being
sent
immediately through the server and not out and back in again via
our
SMTP
provider.

This is fine but there's one employee who works on his laptop and
checks
his
mail using a normal Outlook POP3 setup. Of course, this setup
means
that
he's
not getting his internal emails because Exchange is checking them
and
saving
them on our local server.

Is there anyway to setup a routing rule or something to force the
an
'internal' email to sent out via SMTP? I tried changing the
employee's
User
account email to something else but then we just got
'undevelierable
recipient messages'.

Thanks for the help.
