Ignore an SMTP address in the domain

Hi All,

I have a funny little one here to ponder over. We are running exchange 2003,

We have an address set up with our ISP that captures b***@ourdomain.com,
this is a POP account so a home user can pick up the mail. All other mail
sent to anyth***@ourdomain.com still gets routed to us,

However, if you try and send the mail form the office whilst obviously on
the domain, the exchange server throws back a report saying no user.

What i require is that exchange Ignores this one address and lets it be sent
to our ISP, therefor being kept on their server for POP access.

We do not really want to create a user on our domain for this account and do
not want to open pop on our servers either. Is their an easy way of doing
this??

Cheers All
Nick Reed

Hi Nick,

The easy way would be to configure the b***@ourdomain.com user to access
their mail via your Exchange infrastructure.

Either OWA, Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTPs) or POP3/IMAP4 and SMTP.

What you are asking is possible, but it requires you to make your domain
non-authoritative - which I think is pretty crazy when you can implement a
better solution via one of the options above.

In addition to what Oliver said, it would be really hard to justify adding
this complexity (of address space sharing) to your Exchange deployment for a
single mailbox.

Thanks to both of you. i guess we shall just opt for the OWA option then.

Wouldn't it be better to allow your user remote access to Exchange and
deliver all mail there?
