Re: Have ISP receive all emails and forward to our exchange server

Hi, We have just upgraded to Small Business Server 2003 and would like
our employees to switch from using their pst files to having mail be
delivered to exchange mailboxes. Our ISP currently hosts our internet
domain name as well as our pop3 mailboxes, and each user downloads
their email to their respective outlook 2003 mailbox. We would like
the ISP to keep our domain name hosting, and host the mail, while
sending the clean mail (as they filter for spam and viruses) to our
exchange server. Can anyone recommend the best way for us to
configure/set this up on both our end, as well as what I should tell
our ISP so their end is ready to go?
Thanks, Eric

There's the POP connector, but I'd really suggest you host your own mail via
SMTP instead. You ought to be using your own (locally managed)
Exchange-aware antivirus, and there are many options to control spam. If you
get a *lot* of spam, I'd look at www.mailfoundry.com 's hosted service,
which is really nice as you can configure it to send a digest/summary of all
the quarantined items on their server, to each user - leaving the
whitelisting/rescue of legit mail up to the user.
