POP3 & Exchange

[FlyboyLDB]

We have a setup where we have the POP3 accounts on the workstations along with Exchange accounts (just using exchange for in house email). POP3 set as the default - so bringing/sending external email directly from the users computer. All worked great for more than a year. POP3 email still comes in fine. Sending POP3 email works fine too - except when the recepient attempts to reply to it - it now has the address of the sender's local domain - example - jeagle@mydomain.local - and it will just give the person replying a bounce back. One of the users still works fine - but the rest are getting this when sending. Everything looks as it should - even compared the working user/computer to the rest. Any ideas? Thanks

So what changed after a year of things working fine? Any service packs or upgrades installed? Did you go to a new version of Office/Outlook recently?

That's it - nothing has changed. At least nothing that I know of. No service packs, MS Office still on Office 2000 w/Outlook 2000, no new apps. Very mind boggling. I have read on some other forums that it can just stop working - which makes no logical sense.

FlyboyLDB,

You need to go into Active Directory Users and Computers, and in the properties page/email addresses tab for each user change the smtp addresses to match your real email addresses. When mail is routed through Exchange the email address used is the smtp address listed in AD.
