At the moment, all of the Internet mail is hosted as POP3 on the head office
server (a Cobalt Qube). I then use the POP3 connector for exchange to
retrieve the mail. Incoming mail is not a problem.
The problem occurs because the primary SMTP address for the branch office
site is set to @company.com. This means that for all addresses of format
name@xxxxxxxxxxx, the exchange server only looks locally - it will not
forward them out to be delivered with the rest of the remote SMTP email.
However, if i change the primary email address to e.g. @company.local, the
exchange server stops sending mail out at all, and the "reply to" field in
any emails sent out will be incorrect.

your head office should create similar accounts to the ones that you
have and have the accounts forward all email to your server,
then everythin should work...i think,
