Emails to Public Folders show up as posts

[DJSmith]

We have just moved across to Exchange 2003 and emails that are sent to a public folder from within our network (machines that are connected directly to the Exchange Server) come in fine, however emails sent to this public folder from locations external to our origanisation show up as Posts (Discussions).

I can't find an option anywhere to set what format the mails should be stored stored as.

I have also searched the microsoft website but to no avail.

Any help would be approciated.

Saw a post on MS exchange forum that this was an issue in 2k which was resolved with a hotfix and that this hotfix will probably be available for 2003 either in SP1 or as a separate fix. No date set for release!
