Probably agree with your comment on your last line :-)

Journalling may be another option, or perhaps each excahnge mailbox has
an alternate  recipient that is a mailbox on the linux server??

Would not cached outlook give them similar feature to what they have
now?

Subject: RE: Exchange advanced SMTP Configuration ?

The copy of email on the pop3 linux host is for backup and failsafe
purposes, these users right now do not want to switch to exchange
because
they fear failure is destined on the exchange server.  They want to be
able
to fall back to the hosting provider they already pay for incase
exchange
goes down.  They also do not have an exchange admin, but they do have
the
hardware and bandwidth in place. Since the pop3 is so cheap they don't
mind
paying them for this type of backup and service until they feel they can
manage exchange.

However they are interested in exchange because they want to be able to
share calendars and inbox's etc, which means using exchange.


So what will happen right now with the current setup is their pop3 and
exchange accounts will all have the same exact email except for any
emails
sent from outlook via exchange to another user in the company.  This
mail
sees the smtp address in AD and sends the mail to the storage group.  So
if
exchange fails and they have to temporarily switch profiles to pop3 they
will be missing all the emails the users sent to each other. 

Can anyone think of any solution to this problem, or am I nuts for even
trying.
