the CEICW created the .com and made it the primary, the problem is that the .com is created with the windows user login name, as example if I logs with leon then my mail is leon@xxxxxx but my account in the ISP is noel@xxxxxx noel doesn't exist in the SBS as a user. so how do I define that noel user?
You don't, that's not how email works. Your computer system is there to
help you run your business, not to help somebody else run theirs. It's
your ISP's job to send your email with absolutely any email address you
want in the headers. That's what you pay him for. You might lease fifty
different domain names from ten companies other than your ISP, but it
is the ISP's job to handle mail for them all. You wouldn't be expected
to have fifty different Internet connections.
Your ISP doesn't worry about spam because he knows exactly who is
authenticated to his SMTP server (he doesn't even need that. If he is
providing your Internet connection, then by definition he knows who
you are. He certainly knows where to send the bills) and if he gets
any substantiated complaints, he terminates your account and just
shrugs his shoulders and tells the complainer that he's done that.
End of story.
It's your job to make sure your mail server isn't running as an open
relay, available to others to use for spam. By default, Exchange does
not allow this, you would have to configure it specifically to do so,
and there's no possibility at all of it happening if you're collecting
mail only from specified POP3 mailboxes.
A business tends to have more than one employee, and it tends to want
to use made-up names like 'info' and 'helpdesk' in email addresses,
and often wants to use its own mail server. It may, as I said, use
multiple domain names. I lease about ten domains, none of them via
my ISP.
A business, even a charity or a one-man-band, needs an ISP who can
handle that, and everything you've written suggests that your ISP
can't, that he caters only for single accounts for home users, and
doesn't understand why a business has different needs.
You may be able to convince him otherwise, and help him dip a toe into
providing services to businesses. If he's not interested, you need to
go elsewhere. As your IT usage increases, you will want employees to
connect into your server remotely, you may want to take over email
handling totally (not maintaining mailboxes anywhere outside your
network) and if the ISP can't deal with simple email, the chances are
that nothing else will be easy either.
