Exchange

This kind of goes along with the previous ICW I just posted...

Getting email but may be missing some, as I've taken server on/off WAN to
work on router.

Trying to understand... SBS2k goes thru POP3 connector to retrieve email
and then puts in appropriate mailbox with Exchange. Once in Exchange it
waits for user to request from Outlook...

That about the size of it?

So basically anytime the server gets the POP3 mail it should be in Exchange
whenever a user requests it.

Is there anyway that the SBS2k server wouldn't get all the POP3 (other than
when it is off the WAN)???

Thanks, been at this since 8 AM EST... Getting good and plugging and
unplugging Cat5 cables!

If you are collecting mail using a pop collector then mail gets
collected with a pop collector. It is sent to the Exchange smtp
connector. The smtp connector sends it to the appropriate user
Exchange mailbox. All outgoing mail is sent using smtp just like your
Eudora, Outlook Express or other email program. It just happens to go
out through the Exchange smtp connector. SBS does not need to use any
pop collection. Most of my servers are using pure SMTP, no pop. It all
depends on how you have your MX records set and if you have a static
ip.
