Exchange Std. 2003

I've setup a POP3 Connector to download E-mails from an ISP to Exchange Accounts. In the Recipient Policy I've setup the Company's domain name (Example wmeyer@protocolpub.com) as the Default E-mail address so that when the Exchange user replies to E-mails it will match the POP3 E-mail address. This Internet E-mail setup is working fine except for one issue.

There are two users that do not use this exchange server to retrieve their mail, they retrieve these e-mails from a personal system at home from the ISP directly. When someone on the exchange server tries to E-mail one of these two accounts the message gets returned undeliverable, saying that the Domain E-mail address does not exist. I believe that this is because the Exchange server is looking for these E-mail addresses on the exchange server. Any suggestions on how to correct this without interfering with the other E-mail deliveries?

I suggest you ditch the POP and host your mail on the server directly. Then
the remote users can use OWA or POP from your server itself.

See http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_smtp_diatribe.htm

For Exchange 2000, see http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF002.html for
instructions on how to get Exchange to receive Internet mail sent via SMTP,
the way it's meant to do - for Exchange 5.5, see
http://www.exchangeadmin.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=15729

You can do this even with dialup/ISDN (get an ISP who supports ETRN) .

If you have broadband but with a dynamic IP (such as a cable modem/ADSL
account):

You can use a dynamic DNS host such as www.dyndns.org - you set up an
account, such as yourcompany.dnsalias.com, and whomever hosts your public
DNS should set your primary MX record to point to yourcompany.dnsalias.com.
Open up port 25 inbound in your firewall or router, direct all traffic to
your internal IP for the Exchange server.
You run a service on your server (software available for download from the
dyndns website) and set it up to update dyndns with your current dynamic
IP.
