How does it get Exchange mail from the account??

[Frankenherder]

OK, we just got 2 new 7510s.

I am running Exchange 2003, and watchgaurd FB 1000.

How the heck can this device get corporate e-mail sent to it automatically just by going into the Web Client page, selecting add e-mail and putting in the users logon and password and that is it??

it does not make sense but it works! I did not have to specify and POP settings, IP addresses or anything. that means that anyone who knows a user name and password on my network, can go buy a black berry, add the account and that is it!!!

I can't get a response from BB as I do not have an ESM number handy, am I the only one concerned here?

There is no redirector installed or anything, my MX record points to a 3rd party A/V, Spam filtering company then comes to my network so this should not be possible.

Any thoughts?

You should check out the document showing HOW Blackberry desktop redirector works to get a better understanding.

(Basically, the user installed software on machine, leaves it running, generates a key and gets emails.)
