receiving emails from sbs 2003 exchange
I have a sbs 2003 server which include exchange - obviously.
Ive told my domain hosted / email provider to create a mx record which points to my public ip address - which is where the sbs 2003 host resides. and I also have smtp 25 open.
I also have pop3 connector setup. all of this has been setup by somebody else and im trying to get my head round it
1. first question, if I remove the pop3 connector settings and my broadband connection dies, will I miss the emails? i.e. will they stay sat there at the hosting providers pop3 server side?
2. I currently have a domain called www.whatever1.com , so my email addresses are joe@whatever1.com , blogs@whatever1.com etc etc.
These come into my exchange server and get filtered out.
I want to setup another domain called whatever2.com and have another set of email addresses.
Do I just have to add the email addresses to users> email addresses in active directory?
please assist

You did not mention you are changing provider?
Do you have a static external IP address at the moment and will this change when you move providers?
Are you moving just your broadband connection or you DNS and/or website hosting as well

I have an external IP address which will not change.
Everything will eventually go to a new provider and we will be getting a new domain name for our website and email addresses (naturally)

You need to be a bit more specific ?
When you say you will be getting a new domain will this be in addition or in replacement of your old domain?
I am UK based and if moving the brodband line to a different provider it would be highly unlikely the static Ip would not be changed ? Are you sure about this

Look what your ISP can do is point a MX entry or Domain but till the time Exchange wont understand it wont take that email even if user is stamped

Will that cause any issues? Or us that not allowed in the provider world.
