Exchange and pop3 server conflicting

Tags: microsoft, exchange, 2003
hello,

my scenario is as follows:

i have an exchange server 2003 setup with AD. i also have a linux mail server (communigate) setup handling outside mail. an email address was setup on the linux server for a user. we will call it user@domain.com. our exchange servers domain is also domain.com. user does not have an exchange mailbox setup. whenever a user from within the network trys to email user@domain.com the email bounces back saying account does not exist. however we do not want to setup user@domain.com on the exchange server either.

when somebody tries to email user@domain.com from an external account, say hotmail.com, the email is recieved no problem.

my question is, how can the internal users send email to the linux server without exchange grabbing it first and assuming it belongs within exchange?

Also the linux mail server is setup in a DMZ away from the exchange server.

any help is greatly appreciated. if you need clarifying questions please ask.
