Mixed Exchange and Internet Accounts in Outlook 2003

[David Thomas]

Recently installed a new SBS 2003 with Exchange 2003.
Have 2 machines connected to server - one running W2K
with Outlook 2000, other running WXP with Outlook 2003.
On the machine with Outlook 2000, I have an Outlook
profile configured with a local Exchange account and an
ISP-based Internet account. I have the Internet account
set as the default account. When I send mail to either
local or Internet addresses, those messages are processed
correctly with proper reply addresses, etc. My problem
is on the machine with Outlook 2003. If I set the
Internet account as the default account, it handles
Internet messages properly, but also tries to send local
messages via Internet SMTP server. If I set the Exchange
account as default, it handles local mail correctly, but
sends Internet mail through the Exchange SMTP server with
the local email address as the reply address. Therefore,
anyone receiving the message is unable to reply since the
Exchange server is not available to outside mail.
Is there anyway to get Outlook 2003 to work like Outlook
2000?

I understand the "accounts" button allowing a choice of
which account to use to send a message. However, in
Outlook 2000, it wasn't necessary to select which account -
it automatically selected the proper account. Also, is
there any way to send a mixed message to some recipients
within the local Exchange mail system and others that are
Internet recipients?
