This is what is happening:
Currently our office has internal (Imail) and External(Dial on
Demand, ISP) service. We want email addi's to stay the same, and temporarily use
the two systems until we merge to a completely Imail system. Those with External
email use Outlook 97 so what I have done is put SP2b on the system and loaded up
a second internet service for IMAIL I placed IMAIL as the primary service to
send all smtp mail thru imail and have the imail server dial up once every hour
and send email to the world. the secondary service (ISP) mearly checks for new
mail on the ISP service. For all intensive purposes this should work, but it
doesn't.
I am not sure what is happening but on some machines Outlook
cannot figure out that the pop3 for the ISP is located on the internet, it
continually tries to look on our network for the pop server wich naturally
fails. I don't know if there is an easier way to do this or not but I am looking
for suggestions, horror stories, successes in this type of band-aid
solution.
Now I know this is only a temporary thing but I cannot kick
our ppl off the internet until we get our Dedicated internet connection. I need
something in the interm.
