Jim,
As Jim said (uhhhhh......Jim? This is my other brother Jim) ..okay so I dated myself with that joke, but alas, it is Saturday...
Anyways, as Jim said, you can get a backup mail server for that occasion. A backup server will still allow you to use SMTP, will store mail while your server is down (because even maintenance reboots will be a temporary outage) and will forward when you come back up. Most services will cost you a couple bucks a month and will store mail for 10 to 15 days. I personally recommend dyndns.org, but I've heard (haven't used) zoneedit.com is worthwhile as well. There are also plenty of other options as well. :) Shop for the best deal that fits your budget and still leaves you feeling comfortable with their customer service.
Good luck!

Some people use backup mail servers for the rare occasion that your
server is down. That said many servers witll try delivering email for
2 days. It is not all that often that a server is down for more than a
few hours. At least the ones I touch. SMTP is generally a safer way to
do email business.

Cliff, many thanks for your reply...See what SBS support is working on
I did have it originally setup with smtp but decided to use the pop3
connector as i thought it made sense for mail to be delivered to the isp
so if there was any problem with our server it wouldnt affect delivery.
Perhaps that wasnt such a good idea. Any thoughts welcome..
cheers

The simple truth is pop3 mangles headers. Always has. What you want
cannot be done, AFAIK, with your current setup. You'd need to move to
an SMTP setup and configure a catch-all accordingly. Sorry man,

Hi all,
I have an exchange2003 server which picks up mail from a catch all
account via the pop3 connector.
If there is any undeliverable mail it fwds it to me at an external
(different domain) address.
This works fine but i cant see who the original ('undeliverable-to'
recipient) was in the email header.
Is there anyway I can change find out / change some setting so that i
can see the address that the email was originally sent to?
Any help greatly appreciated
regards
jim
