pop 3 question-easy one!

[joat25]

greetings all, TIA for your help-

have a client running exchange 2003 server with the pop3 connector. problem is that they have some offsite, remote employees who obtain their email directly from the ISP.
when internal employees try and send mail to the offsite employees, they get a failure notice. i'm sure it's because the exchange server is checking internally for the offsite employee's email and doesn't find anything. but, it's responsible for all mail on the domain. is there anyway to bypass this? it worked properly in exchange 5.5.
thanks,
kevin

Why would it not find the offsite employee? Are they or are they not defined on the server?

If the uses are not defined on the windows domain, the Exchange server will give a NDR message. If you are using your HOST/ISP as an SMTP relay agent, you might consider using OWA, for your external users (and have your exchange server pickup all mail from your host provider).
