Connector for POP3 Mailboxes

[Boogie]

I have a customer who has POP3 mailboxes with their
email/web host.

They also have SBS2000 with Exchange Mail boxes and Oulook
2002 on the client PCs. Using the POP3 Connector in
Exchange, I have setup several accounts but can't seem to
get any emails delivered to the Exchange Mail boxes.

When I setup a POP3 mailbox directly in the clients
Outlook everything is ok.

Please help.

Not a Windows 2000 question - try posting in

However, you might want to rethink your setup and ditch the POP mail - it's
much better to host your own mail & avoid having to use a POP connector.

See http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_smtp_diatribe.htm

For Exchange 2000, see http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF002.html for
instructions on how to get Exchange to receive Internet mail sent via SMTP,
the way it's meant to do

You can do this even with dialup/ISDN (get an ISP who supports ETRN) .

If you have broadband but with a dynamic IP (such as a cable modem/ADSL
account):

You can use a dynamic DNS host such as www.dyndns.org - you set up an
account, such as yourcompany.dnsalias.com, and whomever hosts your public
DNS should set your primary MX record to point to yourcompany.dnsalias.com.
Open up port 25 inbound in your firewall or router, direct all traffic to
your internal IP for the Exchange server.
You run a service on your server (software available for download from the
dyndns website) and set it up to update dyndns with your current dynamic
IP.
