Outlook 2003, Windows XP SP2, Windows SBS 2003. There are two accounts
configured: one for pop3 internet email via an ISP the other the Exchange
account. If the ISP account is set to default, internal email is sent over
this connection. If I set the Exchange account as default external email
account needs to be selected before it will go via the ISP. What gives? I
always thought it didn't matter which account was the default since mail
gets routed depending on domain. Any ideas, anyone? Forgive me if this
should have been posted on the Exchange forum.
Outlook 2003 changed things to better handle accounts and all mail is
attempted over the default account unless an account is otherwise selected.
Why not set up the SBS server to forward email to the internet?
