Exchange server 2003: How to force all mail trafic out and avoid local delivery

The customer is using Exchange for mail storage and calendaring. And they are stil using POP3

So Outlook on the PC's have to mail accounts. One for Exchange and one for POP3. Works fine but when a user is traveling and not connected to Exchange he will not receive mails from his collegues because the trafic is routed internal in Exchange.

How do I avoid this?

A workaround offcourse is VPN, RPC HTTP, OWA but does anybody know a way to force all trafic out of exchange.

How about using the POP3 outlook account as the default account in outlook on all PC's. Then all trafic should go out. But I'm still thinking about local delivery inside Exchange and then use VPN, OWA, RPC over HTTPS. Thanks guys I will split the points.
Even if you change the default account setting, Outlook will still want to use Exchange. The only way to truly avoid Exchange is to remove its accounts settings totally.
