Re: exch 2003 will not pass email to external IPS mail server

Cliff is right, if you want web mail. There are lots of other options. Assuming that the users who are to get the mail are members of your organization, you could use Outlook Anywhere, or a Terminal Server with each having their own Outlook on the TS, or (ugh, last choice) the external users could pop from your server.

It would really help if we knew the goal here.

Internal User John, who also wants to view the mail from home?

Internal User John, and external User Bill, who is part of your company but never comes into the office.

Internal User John, and external User Fred, who is a contract worker, supplier, etc who is not part of the organization and should receive selected mail?

Distribution List? Mail Enabled Contact?

Help us help.

There is no *reliable* way to force this across the organization. You can *ask* users to configure an outlook rule to do this, but that is all you can do.

With that said, you realistically are trying to tackle the problem the wrong way. If you want webmail, why not use OWA?

All, I know this issues has been addressed in the past but for the
life of me (and my poor eyes from reading/doing, reading/doing) I
cannot implement the solution.

This seem real simple: Use SBS 2003 exchange and have sent messages
appear at the internal client's Outlook 2003 and also have the same
message sent to the external ISP pop mail server. Presently exchange
mail does not get forwarded to the ISP mail server. Thus all internal
exchange mail is not seen by the off -ite user logging into the
webmail.

How can Exchange be set (or any other app/hardware/firewalls settings)
to allow internal exchange mail to also show up on the ISP POP mail
server?

As you might see from the write up most of this is new to me, but
after 2 weeks of reading, changing, changing, reading, changing,
changing, etc. I have learned a lot about relays, policies, f&reverse
lookup and I am ready to learn more with some additional help.

I thought a solution was here (link below from 2004) but implementing
item2 solution did not fix either.

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs/browse_thread/thread/df3dd89a16dbadd3/af6bdac96a05f8a7?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=dns+routing+issue+for+exchange+2003+smtp#af6bdac96a05f8a7
Item 2 describes what's happening.
1) When you try to send an email from your domain to one of those
addresses
you get back an NDR from the SBS saying that the mailbox doesn't
exist.
2) When you try to send an email from your domain to one of those
addresses
the email ends on the Exchange mailbox instead of your ISP.
