Thank you Stephen. So for this to work, the pop3 connector would not
be used at all, correct? Is there anything special that would be
necessary for the mailboxes on theispside to forward to the correct
mailboxes on the small business server side? I'm just trying to
figure out being the domain name for the sbs network is different than
their internet domain name...how it intelligently knows to forward to
the right box.

When you use yourISP'sserver as a relay, the mail is not delivered
into the POP boxes youhaveon theISP'sserver. It is instead stored in
theISP'sserver's mail queue until it can be delivered to your exchange
server using SMTP.

Your exchange server needs to be set up to accept mail for the internet
domain name. In SBS this is done when you run the Internet and Email
wizard and specify the e-mail domain name. You can check this and add
more domains in Exchange Manager/Properties of Default Recipient Policy.

When this is done Exchange will accept mail for *...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx instead
of bouncing it with a 'relaying denied' error message. If the email
address exists Exchange mail will be delivered to the appropriate location.

The POP3 connector is not used at all in this scenario, but yourISP
*must* change their configuration so that mail to the domain is not
delivered into local pop boxes, but is instead forwarded on to your
server. The mailboxes on theISPside would then become redundant. If
they don't change their configuration, mail will continue to be
delivered into the POP boxes and you'd need to use POP3 to retrieve that
mail.

Great, that makes sense. Thanks for the knowledge!
