Hi there,
Here's the deal.
I have a user who uses an exchange server for calendar bookings /
sharing contacts / internal emails etc (saves on internet traffic over
a small link too)
Their primary email however is external (pop)
This pretty much can't be changed, it's a long story.
Anyhow.
Under Outlook 2002, if I send an email to an INTERNAL recipient and CC
an external smtp recipient (outside the domain at say hotmail for
example) Outlook 2002 knows to send the email correctly, an internal
version via exchange to internal recipients and an external version to
the "internet" recipients. (still showing one copy only in the sent
items though)
The header on the received internal email does indeed have no internet
information and of course the smtp server at the local isp serving
this small business wouldn't recognise "(e-mail address removed)" for
example anyhow.
Now,...
If I do this via Outlook 2003, it will send a single copy of the email
directly to the smtp server of the isp, which will promptly crack the
niggles and send a bounce back message saying "who is
(e-mail address removed)?"
Hopefully you're all following me?
Note the default account in both cases is the pop / smtp account not
the exchange.
Please please don't reply with "just move the mail internal and do it
all through exchange" it just can't be done in this instance and it's
been working exceptionally well for almost a year like this until
today when Outlook 2003 was loaded on to a machine.
Has anyone else encountered this and what can I do to rectify it, it's
caused me no end of headaches today.
(other issues happening at the same time, so it's been difficult to
diagnose)
