I have an exchange server which pulls down all emails from a catchall pop box and distributes it to users with matching email aliases. However I also have two users external to the office who both use seperate pop3 boxes on the same domain. When I try to send an email from an account on the exchange server to one of the external pop3 email addresses it comes back undeliverable, obviously because the alias doesnt exist on the exchange server i am sending from. A friend of mine said I could get this to work properly by adding the external pop3 account address as a contact in active directory but he wasnt very specific on what I needed to do.

Would this work? and if so how do I do it?

I hope I have explained it clearly enough.

Apologies, I should have googled harder before posting. I have found a microsoft help page that should solve my problem. For anybody else that might have the same problem the link is
