Running Exchange with 1 e-mail adres from ISP, Possible?

[Coolhva]

I'm working now at a server, W2K SBS with Exchange 2000.
The company aint got an own domain so they use the pop box from there ISP.

So far so good, but when I'm asked to fill in the DOMAIN name I don't know what to fill in.

If I put an local adres, like server.local then I can't send e-mail outbound.

When I put the domain of our ISP then I can send e-mail outbound but only to other domain's. If I send an e-mail to someone who has also an e-mail account at the same ISP as mine I get an error from Exchange, telling me that the account aint in his list.

That's logical because I used the ISP domain in the Default Recipient Policy. But when I change the domain I aint able to send mail... Help?

P.s. The outgoing mail is send trough an external SMTP server (of our ISP).

you should be able to set up the server as ".local" and send mail out. What error do you get when you try that? In any case, set up the server that way, then in your recipient policies set up a second domain as your ISP's name, but DON'T make your exchange server responsible for delivery to this domain.

So I make a second recipient policy with the ISP domein name and I set the domain name in the Default Recipient Policy to a local domain.

How do I make clear to Exchange that it is NOT responsible for Delivery for the ISP domain name?

in the properties of the "ISP" recipient policy, go to the properties of the smtp address. you'll see a check box for something like "this exchange organization is responsible..."
