This cost is the reason we went the way the way we did. We have one domain that spans both an exchange server and Imail, BTW we have multiple other domains running on both boxes it is just this one that spans both.
I have 95% of my users in that domain remote and they use Imail mailboxes and popping mail off. The other 5% of the users are local and use our exchange server for the groupware features. We did this because of the low cost of having many users on Imail and the lack of benefit from putting them on exchange. I don't disagree that putting all of the users on Exchange would be less confusing and eliminate any jerry-rigging that has been done, and now that ICS is here and they want as much money for it as for my Exchange CALs, I may just get rid of Imail all together.

Everyone that has an Exchange account so they can use the groupware features. For small businesses you can cover a lot of users quickly with the MS Action Pack subscription.

That's why I suggested just let everyone POP the Exchange instead of trying to jury-rig or find a workaround for Exchange's peculiarities.

Say our external domain is domain.com the exchange domain was setup to be popforward.domain.com. The imail server has aliases setup for each exchange user to forward to the exchange servers domain. When an exchange user sends mail to someone at domain.com it is sent via smtp to the imail server. We built a connector on the exchange server for domain.com to allow this to happen.

Exchange 2000 was almost impossible to get it to forward email to an outside POP3 server for user addresses it knew about. Exchange 2003 may be better about that, but having everyone POP the Exchange server is still the best bet.

We host a web site and mail for this client They want to start using an internal Exchange Server and pass most of the mail via Exchange Pop3 connector. They have a few external users who for some reason MUST continue using pop3 This works fine on incoming mail. If Exchange user however sends mail to an POP3 user on the same domain the problem begins. I'm not an Exchange person, so these answers may be simple, but I was unable to find my answers...I have these questions: Is there a way in exchange to tell it that certain users of that domain are not internal and they need to be sent back to our server? Or if Exchange Server allows some users to connect via POP3 and get their mail, I could route all of their mail to Exchange and let those few users access it via POP3 from Exchange?
