The answer to your question, it happens with Microsoft's pop
collector and I do not thnk you can stop it. I could be wrong
though. ;-)
What is a bit puzzling is that I recently saw an SBS receive (by
SMTP) two such messages which had previously been collected from a
POP3 server (as third-party software does) and Exchange correctly
identified them as equivalent and dropped one, before distributing
the other to both recipients. It actually cancelled the SMTP
transfer of the second.
It really is a shame its own POP3 connector is so sophisticated

Eh? Maybe it *tries* to be, but it's a piece of <insert your
preferred epithet here>. POP connectors are a kluge, plain and
simple.

Your irony detector switched off today?

Not at all, but irony does not display well in text format, which is why the
otherwise-annoying "emoticon" can be useful. <wink>

, and
doesn't simply deliver to localhost:25.

Then it wouldn't be an Exchange-integrated POP connector - it would
be a POP client that delivered messages to the mailboxes via SMTP,
such as POPBeamer. This is better, although still not ideal.

It's completely irrational to 'integrate' POP3 downloading with
anything, as it stands alone in function. Considering that it delivers
to a full-featured SMTP server, the use of anything other than SMTP as
the transfer method is madness.

I don't know you, but I love you.

There is a place for mail downloading in business, if you don't have
complete control of the corporate domain name, and it has progressed a
bit from straight POP3. Unfortunately, ISPs in general have yet to
catch up, and many businesses seem prepared to use what are basically
domestic ISPs, who have little idea about providing more than
single-user POP3 and WWW.
