Outlook 2003 delivery problem

[BigD]

I tried posting this last week, has anyone experienced this behaviour?

Since upgrading to Office 2003, Outlook seems to be unable to determine for
itself
whether my emails need to go to our internal Exchange server or out to the
Internet to our external SMTP server at our ISP. Has anyone experienced this
& is there a work around for it?

In Outlook versions prior to 2003, as long as I had the Internet mail
account as first in the list for delivery, Outlook was able to determine
which account to use based on the email address alone.

Thanks for any help!

BigD,

Here's how Outlook 2003 should send a message.

1. New message will use your default account (specified under Tools - Email
Accounts)
2. Reply or Forward will use the account from which the email message was
received. So, if the email message came in from the Internet via your POP
account then clicking Forward or Reply on that message will use your POP
account to send it (even if you are forwarding it to someone in your
Exchange organization).
3. Based on rules 1 & 2 you might have to manually change the account used
to send the message. Every email message should have an "Accounts" button
from which to choose your configured accounts. The InfoBar will also tell
you which account is being used to send the message.

Hope this helps.
