Exchange Rejecting Some Outgoing Mail

We've set up our independent salespeople with POP3 email addresses at our
ISP (e.g. larry@xyz.com). These salespeople do not have network accounts
and do not use Exchange. While traveling (100%) they self-manage their
email using the ISP's webmail tool. We do not use our Exchange POP3
connector to download their emails -- only internal users. No problems
there.

Problem: When my INTERNAL Exchange users (user1@xyz.com) try to send email
to larry@xyz.com, Exchange sees the xyz.com domain and figures it is
internal mail. Obviously, larry@xyz.com doesn't exist in Exchange, so the
mail is rejected.

Does anyone know of a way to 'trick' Exchange to actually send the
salespeople's mail. For corporate visibility reasons, our independent
salespeople must have emails ending with xyz.com, even though they do not
actually log-in to our network.

Thanks, John B

Here's the "trick":

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

That should do it. Please post back if you have any questions!
