Sending External Email using the same Domain

[GaryCracker]

Are domain is registered with a company (Magic Moments) that uses POP3 mailboxes. For our regional offices to recieve email we have used one of the POP3 mailboxes (e.g. midlands@example.co.uk). The regional offices do not have any servers, they just use outlook express to get email from one of the workstations.

Is there a way of telling Exchange 2000 that this email is not an internal address and to send it out via SMTP.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You could forward unknown to a smart host but that could cause a loop pretty quickly. Dan

I've had the same problem. I have been able to work around it but I do not now what the repercussions are yet! What I did was to add an "Internt Mail" service along with the Excange Service on the client machine. I then pointed the "Outgoing Mail(SMTP)" of the "Internet Mail" service to the IP address of the external mail server. Hope this helps
