If you're goal is to have messages delivered in a way that makes them
accessible from outside the office, I don't understand why bypassing the
server for outgoing mail helps. I'm assuming you want to have the mail stay
in a pop mailbox at your ISP or something like that? You can set the
default reply address to anything you want in AD Users and Computers, as
long as you clear the check box to automatically apply recipient policies.
Why not give the users access to their server mailboxes from outside the
office? There's a good doc about this in the documentation for the ISA
Feature Pack, called "Publishing Exchange 2000 Server." Get the docs.zip
file from the FP1 download site.
