Problem with Exchange outbound routing - 18.Apr.2007 9:07:04 AM

Hi. My setup is as follows:

1)    Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with Exchange Server 5.5 with .local domain
2)      Exchange Server 5.5 uses �smarthost� to deliver email as well as not rerouting email in �Routing� tab on IMS
3)      Active Directory accounts linked to Exchange with changed .com SMTP addresses for everyone
4)      Hexamail POP3 downloader that receives all emails into each Exchange mailbox every 5 minutes as we have POP3 email accounts (dedicated hosting elsewhere)

My problem is:

I have internal users who travel often with laptops and check their email via a webmail interface (not OWA). These users do not receive emails in their webmail from internal users but from external users outside the Exchange Server. Messages sent from internal users resolves automatically and dumps messages into their Exchange mailboxes in Outlook instead of going out for them to see it in their Webmail.

Where can I configure Exchange to route these emails out of the internal network into their Webmail as well as going automatically into their Exchange mailboxes (Outlook)? Has it got to do with the �Routing� tab in IMS (Exchange 5.5)?

Please help!

Chris

Using a pop3 connector like this to download mail to individual mailboxes is really a nasty fudge, Exchange isn't designed to work like this. Plus, if the external pop3 server is the destination for the same SMTP domain that the Exchange server thinks it's the destination for, then there isn't really any way to make it do what you want, short of giving the two different destinations different domains (but then everyone's got 2 email addresses).
