When my users send mail to a mix of local and external contacts, the local
address is always sent as a reply-to. When external contacts respond,
obviously they can't resolve the local address.

What do I have to do in order to force the reply-to address as 'not' local?

you need to set the external address as the default smtp in the AD.

thanks for the help!
At the AD, would that be a per user setting, or global?

Depends. If the eternal alias is the same as the user acct, you can
configure the address rules (recipient policy in ESM) to use any address as
the default -but if each person has an external alias that is not associated
in anyway with their username, you'll need to set it individually.
