email are sent using Exchange instead of web hosting server |
|
|
Hi,
I had a problem with Outlook which was using Exchange to send/receive
instead of the
default POP account (supplied through web hosting company.). Every time
I set
the default to web hosting company's pop account, it would reset to
Exchange
after a restart. I posted this question and I was referred to a site
which
gave a solution to a known Windows Server 2003 problem. It worked
(www.slipstick.com/problems/defaultacct.htm)
Now, when I try to reply to, or forward, an email, sometimes it says it
is
using Exchange to send the email (which won't go through since Exchange
is
not set up).
It doesn't do it on all emails, just some of them. I looked at Tools,
Send/receive, Send/receive settings, define send/receive groups;
selected All
Accounts and clicked on Edit and I see:
POP3.domain_name.com
Account Options: send mail items, receive mail items
Folder options: I only see inbox
Microsoft Exchange:
Account options: send email, receive email, make folder home pages
available offiline, synchronize forms, download offline address book
Folder Options: Calendar, contacts, deleted items, drafts, inbox,
junk, ...
How can I fix this problem? I want all emails be sent through
POP.domain-name.com, including forwarded and replied to emails.

Why not set it up, since you have it? Your setup is a bit clunky, no offense
intended. If you set up Exchange to handle *all* your mail, this will no
longer be an issue, you can use OWA, e-mail will be faster, you can make
sure it's all scanned by your Exchange-aware AV software/antispsam software,
etc.
That said:
When you reply/forward, you may need to set up OL to view the From field so
you can delete the contents - or use the accounts button. Not sure how else
to tell you to fix this, sorry - it isn't a configuration I would choose to
support, and you would be much better off simplifying your setup.

Thanks for the reply. I am new to Exchange and I am learning as I go.
If I set up Exchange, do I need to create POP connectors for users with
POP email? What is the elegant way of setting this up? Do I need to
deal with the hosting company in some way as well?
I do prefer to let Exchange handle everything.
Thanks.

You don't set up POP connectors for users at all, even if you're using it to
receive Internet mail (and note, there is no POP connector in Exchange - if
you're using SBS, it has one built in - but I don't recommend it).
I would avoid setting up users with POP access entirely. Remote users can
use OWA, or RPC over HTTP(s), or VPN.
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF002.html will explain how hosting your
own mail works. If you *are* using SBS, you will need to re-run one of the
wizards to set this up properly. And if you're using SBS, try posting in an
SBS group as you will likely need to be running a wizard to do this.

I am using Windows Server 2003 SBS. What if I want to keep the POP
emails I have through web hosting company and don't want to set up my
own mail hosting? Can I still use Exchange to send/receive?
Thank you. |

Why would you want to keep another mail server and introduce multiple points
of failure, as well as slower mail delivery, problems with distribution
lists, etc?
Just host your own mail and get someone else to act as a 'backup' in the
event your server is unavailable - see www.dyndns.org 's MailHop BackupMX
service for one very affordable option.
POP connectors are not recommended, and you don't need one. You already have
a registered domain, and you have your own mail server.
If you have a dynamic IP, check out Dyndns' "dynamic DNS service". |
