relay internal mail to isp

[Tomppa]

Is it possible to temporary relay internal mail to ISP? Have setup a smtp
connector but this does not work for @ourdomain.com cause Exchange 2003 "is
responsible for all mail delivery to this address" and that feature is grey.


Any ideas?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Are you trying to send mail for users
who share your e-mail domain's namespace but who don't have mailboxes on
your server (they have mail hosted by an ISP) & you're using a POP
connector?

In a way...
We are moving all our POP users from an ISP to our Exchange and during this
process (lets say it takes a week for me to configure all users from pop to
exchange) we want the POP users to be able to read the mail sent by Exchange
users. This doesnt seem to be possible because all internal mail from
Exchange stays within Exchange. When exchangeuser@mydomain.com sends mail to
popuser@mydomain.com , Exchange gives an error that no such user exists.

Hope you'll understand me..

OK, I get it.

That said -
How many users are you talking about, and are they remote users? A week
seems like a very long time....
How are you planning to handle receiving Internet mail on your Exchange
server/local network (and how are you handling it now)?

If you are moving everyone over to Exchange & will host your own mail, but
your LAN users currently have both Exchange & Internet mail in the same
profile, you can use another SMTP domain in your recipient policy
(@domain.local) instead of your real one - internal mail will still work.
Then when you have everyone set up to access the Exchange server & have
imported whatever PST data needed to the mailboxes, you can change the
recipient policy to the real mydomain.com one (add it, set it as primary),
change your public MX records so that mail for mydomain.com is delivered
directly to the Exchange server via SMTP, and remove the Internet Mail
service from your clients.

Clumsy, but it might work - and do this over a weekend so that the DNS
propogation time doesn't impact your users too much.

Only 50 users but they are located in 5 different offices, in different
cities.

How are you planning to handle receiving Internet mail on your Exchange
server/local network (and how are you handling it now)?

When we move a user from pop to exchange, our ISP relays their mail to our
Exchange

If you are moving everyone over to Exchange & will host your own mail, but
your LAN users currently have both Exchange & Internet mail in the same
profile, you can use another SMTP domain in your recipient policy
(@domain.local) instead of your real one - internal mail will still work.

Thats an idea, but I think we´ll just create an icon on everyones desktop to
the internal WebAcess on Exchange so that InternetMail users can read mail
sent from Exchange users. Then I don´t have to stress with importing
everyones pst data at once.

Clumsy, but it will work
