That must be because those users have the @earthlink.com address defined locally on your Exchange server, so when mail is sent internally, Exchange server finds a match and puts the message into the appropriate mailbox.
I think you should be able to configure your users' Outlook profiles differently so that Exchange is not the primary transport, but the ISP's POP3/SMTP account is. Then mail will shoot out via ISP instead of trying to get resolved by the Exchange server. P.S. Are you sure that you really need Exchange if you don't want to use its biggest component? (sending/receiving mail) P.S. #2 you know, you can also give your Exchange server's POP3 protocol a try. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vermonty Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 10:55 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: How do I set Exchange users to only use ISP e-mail, not local (internal) Exchange e-mail? thanks for the reply. I think I need to be more clear. I know I can't recieve earthlink e-mail w/ my server, the problem is when people on the internal network send to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the mail OFTEN goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - even though I've removed the .local address for that user! The reason we use ISP based e-mail is that there are a number of users on the road, and dialing in to the Exchange Server or using OWA is not an option. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
