SBS/Exchange 2000 managing multiple domains

Using the SBS 2000 pop3 collector with Exchange 2000. Have a default policy
which states:

(mailnickname=*)
SMTP @domain3.co.uk (responsible for all)
SMTP @domain3.local (responsible for all)
SMTP @domain2.co.uk (responsible for all)
SMTP @domain2.local (responsible for all)
SMTP @domain1.co.uk (type=checked, primary, (responsible for all))
SMTP @domain1.local (type=checked, (responsible for all))
X400 c=GB;a= ;p=DOMAIN1;o=Exchange;

The pop3 collector collects mail for all the .co.uk addresses no problem.
Certain users have domain1.co.uk some have domain2.co.uk others domain3.co.uk
and a few have multiples.
It seems like pg.co.uk and pl.co.uk are simply being lost. The pop3
collector collects but the mail does not appear in the mailbox.
i.e. i get mail to my domain1.co.uk but not domain2.co.uk or domain3.co.uk

It did all use to work when the SBS server's IP was allowed to relay.
However this caused Exchange to resend (well try to resend) incoming mail to
other external recipients like the pop3 catch all bug.
I'm certainly going to be glad when I can ditch this pop3 collector but its
a couple of months away :S

I've tried re-adding the domains above, and even checked the type box which
I believe is unessecary.

Also if sending a mail from internal to a valid address at domain2.co.uk or
domain3.co.uk the exchange server delivers it. If sent to an invalid address
at those domains the exchange server pushes it out to our host's smtp server
which then bounces back an ndr (as there is no such pop3 box).

Solutions? Help!! :(

Split it into 3 policys, one for domain1 (default), one for domain2, one for
domain3. each with their own x400s as well... Seems to be working..... but
i'm not totally convinced why it should make a difference. Slight difference
in the 2 new policys filter rules though as I couldnt get them the same so
its:
(&(&(& (mailnickname=*) (|
(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(|(homeMDB=*)(msExchHomeServerName=*))) ))))
All beyond me :confused:
