can it be possible to have the following topology for exchange:

  1. have a catch all mailbox hosted on the internet
  2. configure exchange (within the internal network) to pop mail from there and route it into user mailbox as per rule

i believe something like this should be possible, would like some confirmation and/or any implementation tips/pitfalls.

  • You can do this, but why would you want to? Wouldn't it be better to deliver directly to Exchange and use Exchange rules to handle the catchall?

Yes, that topology is possible with Exchange but you need a "POP3 connector" to download and distribute the emails from the catch-all mailbox. The "Small Business Server" versions of Exchange already come with a POP3 connector but if you're not using SBS you can use any of the available 3rd party connectors. Try POPcon - that's one that just works.

  • thanks claus, just one thing to throw into the mix... would adding an edge role in a dmz be possible (and would it add any value) or something like POPCon pro do the job ? Nov 28, 2012 at 21:50
  • An Edge Transport server would do nothing for this situation. Dec 16, 2013 at 2:43
