I have an SBS 2003 Server with 5 users and a registered domain name eg

User1@myDomain.co.uk, User2@myDomain.co.uk, etc.

My mail is delivered to the ISP's server and the SBS Exchange collects via POP3.

I also have some "external" users ie. in other locations who have mailboxes on the ISP's server. They collect mail also via dial up and POP3. ie. ExtUser1@myDomain.co.uk

Everything is fine and dandy..... UNTIL

one of the 5 users on the SBS wants to send to one of the external users

ie from User1@myDomain.co.uk TO ExtUser1@myDomain.co.uk

The SBS receives the email and decides that this is an unknown user (which of course it is AS FAR AS THE SBS is Concerned)

How do I "tell" the SBS Exchange that ExtUser1@myDomain.co.uk should be forwarded outbound ??

Help would be appreciated

Regards

Did you ever find a solution

Thanks
 
Go to Active Directory users and Computers> User properties> Email Addresses tab> and add SMTP addrerss with external email adderss and set it to primary.
That is how I did it. Hope that helps.
