Route internal email on Exchange Server to external address

[microsyskl]

I am trying to route any email directed to an internal email address
in Exchange Server 2007 to an external email address. No matter what
i try , it goes to the default internal address.

I am not hosting email direct on the SBS Exchange server - i am using
the isp and POP3 connector.

Interestingly enough, even when I send an email FROM AN EXTERNAL email
address(from outside the network) to an internal address, when they
hit reply, it automatically gets refirected to the INTERNAL address!
(not the address in the email). HELP!!

Did you run the "Setup your internet address" task on the SBS console home
page?

Since you're using SBS and the POP connector, which is not part of
Exchange, I suggest you post this in the SBS 2008 group. You can access that
via the web or via NNTP - check out www.sbs2008.com for info / instructions
on how to access it. What you're asking is not specifically an SBS thing,
but SBS has all sorts of wizards and does things its own way, so it's best
to ask the experts.

I do suggest you start hosting your own mail, however. The POP connector is
not recommended - it's not even intended for long-term use.

Just curious - what would be my benefits of HOSTING Exchange Server
incoming mail inhouse. To me, it's one less thing to manage - my isp
takes care of that and it's less exposure hosting as well. I know
Exchange Server is powerful

You really miss out on all the features that Exchange has to offer such as
Outlook Anywhere, Exchange Activesync w/mobile devices, Security policies
you can implment, etc. I really see no reason not to host your own SMTP
using Exchange Server as it was built for this. I would suggest a good
Corporate level firewall such as Cisco or Sonicwall to protect your network.
You can still use your ISP as a Smarthost, which I recommend, and gain all
the features that Exchange has to offer and allow you and your end users a
simpler way to manage and collaborate with Exchange Server.

Because the POP connector is a great big kluge. POP is for a client to
communicate with a server, not for server/server communication. The POP
connnector in SBS is especially bad and breaks all sorts of things, such as
BCC, DL handling, etc - it is meant for transitional purposes and not for
permenant use. Avoid it. No Exchange person worth his/her salt will
recommend this setup.

There's no downside to "handling" your mail locally - it's much much much
easier, I promise.There's no issue with exposure on port 25 that I can
imagine a small business would care about, but if you don't want it, use
Postini or another hosted antispam/antivirus service to recieve all your
mail and redeliver it to your Exchange box via SMTP - they can also queue it
for you if you're down - and lock down inbound SMTP access in your firewall
to the Postini (or whatever) IPs.

I like that phrase, "a great big kludge". Where'd you get that?

Not sure. I think I stole it from some curmudgeon I keep bumping into on the
internets.

<sigh> No, Ed. It's a *series* of tubes. Here, watch and learn.
