Can I create exchange mailboxes without creating a domain user account?

Asked by srohe in SBS Small Business Server, Exchange Email Server

Tags: without, account, exchange, user, create

I run a small business network of 12 users on a single SBS 2003\Exchange 2003 server.  We're in the process of bringing on 60-70 home based independant contractors who DO NOT need access to any files\applications\printers on our server but DO need an exchange email account within our domain.  

Can I create exchange email accounts for each of the contractors without assigning them a domain account?  If I add all the contractors as users I'll blow past my SBS user limit and force a migration to Windows Server simply to hand out email accounts for people who work out of their home.  

Is there any way around this within Exchange?  I have my current mobile users setup with RPC over HTTP (Outlook Anywhere) as well as access to OWA if needed.  I feel I'm missing something simple.

Thanks in advance....
