Re: Lost emails when using POP3 connector

Thanks for the info. Couple of other questions, why would I have lost some
emails during the set-up stage. ie I was download the emails from our ISP
and exchange lost them.

On another note, if I were to use SMTP, what happens when/if our Internet
connection goes down ?

Yes, If I havent missunderstood your setup completly.
In my case I can use my ISP account hear*at*swipnet*se (swipnet*se is the
isp domain for home users).
Download them with the connector, route them to an existing Exchange mailbox
or an catch all mailbox.

But, as th others say, Its not recomended.No spam, virus and other features
apply on this solution.They are all bypassed by the connector. You completly
need to rely on the protection on your clientside. BAD!

Henrik,

Just to clarify your response. So I can use the POP3 connector to
download
email from anydomainname.com (pop3 ISP mail account) to a designated
mailbox
on the exchange server and I DO NOT need to modify anything related to
recipient policy, user AD email address etc. In addition, I could
configure
the POP3 connector to download x number of pop3 ISP mail accounts to a
designated mailbox on the exchange server

If the pop account Is not the domain you are handling but just a single

domain account, then yes, you can use the POP connector and route emails
to
mailboxes in Exchange. You cannot however route them to WinXP POP3
clients
like OE or something directly.

I agree with Duncan, POP3 Connector was a tool to make it easier for SBS
users to move/migrate away from old solutions onto the SBS plattform. The
intention was defently to move to EXchange.

Do that and take advantage of all the nice features that It gives. IMF as
spamfiltering, DNS Blacklists, Exchange features in mailboxes with shared
calenders and public folders. Central holding of mail with complete
backups
etc.

Duncan, thanks for your informative reply. I removed the @abc.local
purely
because I thought it was not needed and added the @abc.com so the
sending
address was correct.

Onto my other point, we want to download email for 123.com. Therefore
can
I
set-up this in the POP3 connector to just pull down the email and store
in
the designated mailbox. Is this all I need to do ?

I'm thinking about moving away from the POP3 connector, but at the
moment
we
have to work with it.

Thanks again.

Pedro thanks for your reply.

Just to clarify, our domain for example is abc.com. Under user
recipient
policy in AD I set their email address to username@xxxxxxx (primary
SMTP).
It appears that we can successfully download external email using
the
POP3
connector to the users mailbox and send as username@xxxxxxxx

However during the set-up process, some emails appeared to disappear
and I'm
not sure why. Which is why I was asking the question about the
above
set-up.

In addition, we have another domain for example 123.com which we
want
to
download the email into the same mailbox for each user. My question
is
can I
download email from another domain name with out any problems ? Do
I
need to
make any other changes ?

At the moment, I set-up POP3 connector to download email from
123.com
into
the mailbox and it appears OK. But my question is this the correct
way.

I found it very difficult to find related POP3 connector information
and
Exchange SBS 2003 on the Internet.

I don't follow everything you've said, but I'll do ma best...

The POP connector is not an Exchange Server thing, it's an SBS thing -
hence you'll need to look in SBS places to find info on it.

Not sure why (or even if) you removed the *.local addys - I always
leave
those alone, all I do is change the *default* addy - ie if that *is*
the
default, I make another one (eg *.domain.com) the default.

I think you should move away from the POP Connector, and get onto
using
Exchange Server to send and recieve your emails - I think you'll find
it
much easier to setup and it doesn't have the quirks that you will, in
time, discover in the POP Connector (and I also don't think MS will
ever
fix them).

OK, sure, I use it myself, but it's only to poll a rarely used mail
account (the ISP's account that they always give you). This is to
stop
email building up on it. But I most certainly don't use it as a
general
purpose email system - that's what Exchange is for.

You will run into other issues with the POP Connector too - such as
having to rely on the ISP (or whatever your host is that you are
POP'ing
off) to do your spam filtering. You need to use Exchange Server as
your
email server if you want to do inhouse spam filtering (using it's IMF
spam feature and also to use realtime blacklists per spamhaus.org).
Antivirus might be an even bigger problem unless you use Exchange
Server
- it's certainly an important issue.
