Cannot Send SMTP Unless Connected to Exchange

B

I work both in the office and out in the field. For security, our exchange
server is not connected to the internet. We use it to sync notebooks and
desktops and to have group access to calendaring.

Email is SMTP/POP3 on a hosted server. The computers are set up to get mail
directly from the POP3 server, and store them in the Exchange account folder
by default. Desktops and notebooks use cached exchange mode. The default
account to send is SMTP.

The exchange server is part of Windows SBS 2003. We are using Outlook 2007.

When physically connected in the office, there is no problem sending and
receiving.

When operating remotely, we can receive, but cannot send. The error message
is the same message we would receive if we had not configured to connect POP3
prior to sending SMTP. However, all computers are configured to connect POP3
first.

The accounts are placed in order with Exchange being listed last.

How do I fix this so I can send when I am not connected to Exchange?
