outlook client: Pop server settings |
|
|
Has anyone come up with a solution to the problem of operating outlook
inside the server and out on the road without effectively setting up two
mail accounts.
Inside the network one uses <SBSservername>
Outside the network one uses mail.<domain.com> etc whatever
From inside the network mail.<domain.com> is not resolved which is just as
well when one uses a router.
If not using a router, and using ISA 2000 the external IP address can be
used - it works well.
But of course it does not work with a NAT router.
The solution I have found involves batch file manipulation of the hosts file
which thus resolves the external world name to the internal server IP
address. Anyone found a better way ?

You could implement VPN, and then usecorporate/workgroup mode and connect to
the exchange server directly & sync to an OST file. This works fine - and is
much less messy.

Might consider changing away from port 25 to faciliate use of BigPond
as a dial-in but apart from that very plain old Internet Mail Only
setup. Might use SSL - that gets away from port 25.
Re: outlook client: Pop server settings
I was just looking for a more sophisticated way than batch files and
HOSTS files in the laptops to switch the definition of the outside
address "mail.domain" to resolve to the server name inside....
Maybe there is a way to preset something into DNS. It a wonder SBS
package does not already provide such a feature.
I might get a book on DNS server operation and see how to predefine
something only for issue inside the network. There must be a way.

There is a link over at www.smallbizserver.net that explains how to
"fix" your SBS dns if you call your internal domain your external
domain. It is just a simple click or two in dns.
