current scenario: 1) all clients send/receive internal email using outlook2k3 via our in-house exchsrvr2k3. 2) all clients send/receive external email using outlook via an external pop3 & smtp server (prominic.net). desired result: 1) all clients send/receive all email (internal or external) using outlook2k3 via our exchsrvr2k3. so far: 1) i've started the pop3 service and cfg to auto start. 2) i've got pop3 & smtp ports open on the pix firewall. 3) i've got a test domain mx record pointing at our office's pix firewall/router and then forwarding to the exchsrvr2k3 ip address. questions: 1) how do i ensure pop3 security & smtp authentication? 2) what is "best practice"? 3) should ssl be in the picture? 4) what steps have i missed? thanks in advance for all the help, obersurfer
Hi, Any reason that you want to use POP3 on the server?? Why not just host your own SMTP mail domain and thats all.
