ISP mail forwarding to Exchange 2003 server

[scottdware]

I have a ?. We currently have an Exchange 2003 server that was just setup, but we also have POP3 accounts with Singlefin. We wanted to forward the Singlefin POP3 mail to the Exchange users' mailbox.

My ? is, is there some other software that I have to have in order for the Exchange server to recieve or "fetch" the POP3 mail/Internet email accounts from Singlefin?

Thank you!

You can setup a static IP and have your DNS host resolve a domain name to this IP (might want to make sure that it is a different server name than your POP3 hosted server.. i.e. if your POP3 server is mail.domain.com, then have your FQDN name to the IP, be mail1.domain.com). Then have your POP3 host forward the MX record to your new IP/FQDN. Any mail hosted by the POP3 host will need to be downloaded to your exchange server (Outlook can connect to both the POP3 and Exchange by setting up 2 seperate connections). Eventually, you can drop your hosting provider.
