Mail Domain Problems
I have a client with Small Business Server 2003. They have about 10 staff at the office running SBS and another 30 or so who work remotely and never visit the office (or even the area!)
Their email domain (yyy.org.uk) is handled by an external company on a POP3 mail server so the exchange server gets the mail from it via the POP3 connector only for the 10 internal users; the rest of the team get their mail via POP3 direct from the POP mail server. Mail is sent via SMTP as normal.
The problem arises when an internal member of staff wishes to email an external member; what we need is for exchange to send these emails out via SMTP but of course it thinks it is the sole repository for yyy.org.uk, and as there is no user set up internally with that email address it returns a NDR.
One solution, I know, is to handle the mail entirely within the exchange server but we would have to provide 30-ish VPN connections for all of the external people to get their mail ? the project director is not happy for them to work with webmail.
Sorry for the length of this post but I had to explain it properly; can anyone propose a solution for me?
TIA
