| 642013 | 2008-02-19 23:16:00 | I have a server running Win 2003 SBS software and I am having trouble setting up the user e-mail,I want to use exchange to retreive and send pop mail to the ISP's server.I am able to send and receive mail to outside address as long as they are not the same web site.co.nz address as the user. example,the user (staff@webname.co.nz) can send and retreive mail to/from joebloggs@xtra.co.nz but cant send mail to jane@webname.co.nz who is getting her mail from the same web site and ISP. Any help appreciated. |

| 642014 | 2008-02-20 01:26:00 | How is your email domain hosted? Do you have one 'catch-all' POP email address or does each user's email have its own seperate email account with a username & password? Or are you using SMTP to have email delivered directly to your server without going through your ISP/host? |

| 642015 | 2008-02-20 03:20:00 | Hi, I am trying to keep it simple by leaving the mail with the ISP and collect it with exchange,just trying to get it delivered to the server as POP mail,all accounts are setup for stand alone retrevial using STD POP/SMTP settings. I hope this makes sense, Cheers, John. |

| 642016 | 2008-02-21 09:28:00 | So in the POP3 connector setup you've set up all the accounts as per your ISP details with their individual logins & passwords? On each of these did you set the option for the mailbox type to 'User Mailbox' and then select the appropriate Exchange account from the drop down list? |

| 642017 | 2008-02-22 23:47:00 | Sorry for taking so long to reply, Yes to both questions,I have used the same setup of the account as if it was a stand alone setup on a PC. One thing I have noticed,if the account the mail is being sent to is also on the server the mail is controlled by the server and it dosent go to the ISP,in other words the server grabs the mail before its sent,and routes it to the mail box on the server. if the address is not on the server as one of the mail boxes but has the same web address it gives a deliver error. its like it expects all the address using the domain name to be setup on the server. Any other mail goes in and out with no problems, I hope this makes sense, Cheers, John. |

| 642018 | 2008-02-23 05:43:00 | Well your domain is setup a myname.co.nz and I assume you have a dns server running so if the user account is not on the domain then the server will not know where to send the email. | berryb (99) | ||
| 642019 | 2008-02-23 05:45:00 | Also how many users are we talking about? If many then I wouldn't say what you are doing is "keeping it simple". What happens when a user changes their domain password? | berryb (99) | ||
| 642020 | 2008-02-23 06:58:00 | Only up to 5 users expected to use the mail server,the passwords would only be reset by the Admin owner, | john r (782) | ||
| 642021 | 2008-02-23 08:30:00 | Is the domain name on the server the same as you registered domain name? If this is the case then as I posted the sever is expecting the user name to be on the domain. Do any of the users not have a domain account? | berryb (99) | ||
| 642022 | 2008-02-23 09:19:00 | Thank you again for your trouble,yes you are right the the domain name on the server is the same as the registered domain name,all the users use the same domain account. Are you saying this is how ther exchange server normally works,once all the users are setup maybe it will be ok. |
