How can I config Exchange Server 2003 to leave a copy on my third e-mail server?

Hello!

I have a third hostting provider for my web page and e-mail.

Recently we install SBS 2003 and Exchange Server at the office on Dell PowerEdge 1600SC server, we setup the Exchange Server to check the e-mail every 15 min., because we need get our e-mails as soon as posible.

Our ISP provider assign us a dynamic IP address, then we use dyndns service on the router to access the server remotly.

Now a day the principal's managers were assign with a new celular mobile phone "blueberry". I setup their's mobiles to check the e-mail account on there mobiles, but they do not receive some e-mails because de Exchange Sever check the e-mail every 15min. and delete from the hostting service provider.

I want to know how can I setup the Exchange Server 2003 to leave a copy of the e-mails on the third hostting provider for 72hrs.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff, couldn't you just setup POP3 on the Exchange server and POP off the Exchange box as well as the 3rd party e-mail? (I've done this with some strange success (though not with SBS).  Meaning when I've set it up, it seems to work for a day and stops for some reason.
I wouldn't.  But that depends on the available resources of the server.  POP3 service is pretty meaty...

Actually what you COULD do is to automatically forward all messages to a GMail account and then POP off of that... which is a much bettter way to handle this.

The forwarding is configured in the User Properties > Exchange General > Delivery Options.

A rule can be set up in the GMail account to delete any message after three days, but it's probably not even necessary.
