Thanks Jeff - great, but if the server goes off-line for any reason &nbsp;(they have a single SBS box) what would happen to the mail ?

If an SMTP server goes offline, then email just queues at the sending server. Most servers will continue to attempt delivery for 48 hours. You should be able to make alternative arrangements for email in that sort of window. <br />

If the server goes off line, it'll stop outbound mail of any type in most cases because DNS is handled exclusively by SBS. &nbsp;So this is not an issue when deciding between SMTP or POP3. <br />

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
