I recently setup up a SBS 2000 server for a client and
have some questions on how best to implement email. Here
is the situation:

Main office is in CT with 1 branch office in FL. Email
and webhosting are through an external server. Right now
i am using the POP3 connector to d/l the mail then move
it to each users exchange account. The Branch office is
not setup on the server because its only one person at
this time and really has no need for access. The problem
is that the branch office can not recieve emails from the
Main office because it sends through exchange returns
with an unknown user error. Anyone have any advice on how
to set this up so the branch office can receive emails
from the other users?

What happens is that Exchange thinks that it is authoritative for that
domain (yourdomain.com), so any address that doesn't exist on you server
will appear as undeliverable. You can fix this by doing the following:

Right-click Virtual SMTP server-> Properties-> Messages tab-> Specify your
ISP's SMTP mail server on the field "Forward all mail with unresolved
recipients to host".

This should take care of your issue. Let us know how it goes.

This did not work. First SMTP i put in delayed all mail
and the second still errors out when sending to the
Branch office. Anyother options would be great.
