This is a neat post that describes why your customers might call you and say 'so and so didn't get my email and I sent 50 test ones!'....
The majority of the time, we find that the email issues appear on the remote/recipients server. In the case of our customers we almost always use a smarthost for outbound mail (we like dyndns.com). By setting up an account with DynDns, we get an additional bonus: A backup mail server that will hold our customers incoming mail in case the server isn't available.

Utilizing Entourage with the SBS Server 2003 Exchange Server
Ok, I thought for sure I had posted these settings some time ago, but must be losing my mind. I'm pretty sure it's related to the 4 year old.
1. Open the Accounts Window (Tools, Accounts) in Entourage
2. Select the Exchange tab and click new
3. In the basic user information field, click the Configure Account Manually button.
4. In the Account Settings tab, fill in the Account Name, Account ID, Password, Exchange Server, Name, and Email Address fields with the appropriate information.
5. Click on the Mail tab and enter the name of the SBS Server in the SMTP Server field.
6. Click on the Directory tab and enter the name of the SBS Server in the LDAP server field.
7. Click on the Advanced tab and enter servername/public in the Free/Busy Server field, where [Servername] is the name of the SBS Server. (this isn't really going to work, but oh well).
8. Click OK to close the Accounts Window
9. I had to restart the Entourage application
All the information should be downloaded at this point from the Exchange Server. I also have Parallels running, and the windows vm has outlook connecting to the Exchange server as well. This allows me to get to the Microsoft CRM Apps we use.
Have you setup a VPN to your server. Let me see if I can't post an entry about that as well. Again, my brain thought I had posted it until I looked and couldn't find it. It's either the kids or the wine, I don't know which....
