Well, let me give you another solution to think about. One of my SBS2003
customers have several on the road sales people. And all of theser sales
people have their own PDA or PocketPc or whatever that they use to retrieve
their own personal AOL or Hotmail or 3rd party POP3 email account. Sounds
like you.
So, each of these people do have an email account on SBS /Exchange. What you
can do is to configure SBS to automatically forward a copy of all incoming
email (whether from someone internal on the network or external) to the
sales person's personal email account:
Here's what you do:
Let's say John is setup on your SBS box with an account 'JohnDoe' - email
address johndoe@yourSBSsite.local
Go into AD Users, and create a new contact, and call it 'John Doe_External'
and inside the contact, indicate John's personal email address - let's sat
johnnyboy@hotmail.com
Then go intop the properties for his user account (JohnDoe), and under one
of the Exchange tabs, you will find an option to enable 'forward all mail'.
Simply turn on this option, and enter his 'John Doe_External' contact name
there, and click on the option to send incoming email to both locations (his
Exchange acct and his outside account). IT's really very easy!
