For various reasons, I need to run both Outlook Express and Outlook on my
computer. We recently added a Small Business Server mail exchange. I host
my mail with Network Solutions and now I want to forward mail for certain
users to to our Exchange Server. How do I determine what my "raw" domain
email address is for the internal exchange server, in order words, what is
the address i need to forward my Network Solutions mail to so that it can
show up in my Exchange mailbox? Note that I do not want to change the entire
domain to point to the server, I only want to FORWARD the mail of a few
select accounts to be managed by Exchange mail.
I am using Outlook 2003.

If I understand you correctly, you want to forward a few e-mail accounts
currently hosted by Network Solutions to your own in-house Exchange server.
You won't be able to do this as you've described it. Let's say the domain
name you have registered with Network Solutions is contoso.com. Network
Solutions hosts your mail, so on their DNS servers hosting contoso.com
they've added one or more MX records pointing to mail servers that they
control.
If you want Network Solutions to now forward mail to another domain, that
domain must be set up in DNS with the correct MX and A records so that other
mail servers can send mail to it.
There is no "raw" domain e-mail address in Exchange that you can forward
mail to. You would have to set up a separate domain name (let's call it
fabrikam.com) and set up an MX and A record in DNS to point to your Exchange
server. Then you could forward mail from user[ at ]contoso.com (on Network
Solutions) to user[ at ]fabrikam.com (on your in-house Exchange server).
I hope this helps. Please let me know if any of this is unclear...

The best way to do this on SBS is to use the POP3 connector in SBS to
download mail for these accounts and send them to Exchange. If Exchange is
not handling e-mail for all accounts the presents another problem for users
to send e-mail to accounts held only at NetSol.
You need to configure an SMTP connector setup with NetSol as the Smart host.
You also need to configure a different default email domain in Exchange,
than the domain held at NetSol.
In Exchange system manager:
Expand Administrative groups> First Administrative group> Servers> server>
Protocols and click on SMTP, right click on Default SMTP virtual server,
choose properties. Select the Messages tab, in the "Forward all mail with
unresolved recipients to host:" field enter the SMTP server you use in
Outlook Express, then select the delivery tab, and click the Advanced
button, and enter the SMTP you use in Outlook Express in the Smart host
field, and OK out of the SMTP virtual server.
Expand Routing groups> First Routing Group and select Connectors, right
click on Connectors, from the menu, select New>SMTP Connector. Give it a
name, E.G. NetSol, select Forward all mail through this connector to the
following smart hosts, and enter the NetSol SMTP server, add the Default
SMTP to the local bridgehead, Select the Address space tab, Add SMTP email
domain with an asterisk * and click OK. If you have to Authenticate with
NetSol's SMTP server to send email, Select the Advanced tab, click the
Outbound Security button, select basic Authentication, click the modify
button, and enter a user account credentials (Remember, if this user
changes his or her password, you have to update these credentials)
Now, for each individual user to use this, you need to configure the user
account with an Exchange mailbox, and set their default email address to the
one hosted by NetSol, and clear the check box "Automatically update email
addresses based on recipient policy"
Then you can configure the POP3 connector for the selected users.
