When you send mail from Outlook and want it to go to the outside world...are you clicking on Accounts and then selecting the ISP account??

 Yes the workstations are configured for both exchange and my ISP. I would
 like to use exchange for my local e-mail and my ISP for my externel internet
 e-mail. I have a problem sending e-mail to some addresses at aol.com and
 another .org address. However I don't have the problem when exchange is not
 configured on Outlook.

 For example when I send e-mail to aol, it never gets there. When I go to the
 exchange server management console under servers->queues. I see a link to
 aol.com and a status of retry. At some point a returned email gets sent to
 Outlook saying my e-mail has been delayed. I thought if I ran ICEW and
 checked disable internet e-mail, exchange would not be involved.

Respectfully, why?

Again, why? Why not host all your mail directly? You're missing out on a lot
(for example, OWA) and your setup is not efficient, and will be a pain to
administer. And mail delivery will be slower. And you can't control
everything centrally w/r/t antivirus, attachment blocking,  Etc etc etc.

Could happen anyway - they may be blocking you if you're on a dynamic IP
and/or your public IP doesn't have a PTR (reverse lookup record) in DNS.

What SMTP server are you using with your POP account?

See above..

This is not recommended. Host your domain's mail directly on the Exchange
server, not your ISP's. (Heck, even the Dreaded POP Connector would be
better than your current setup.) Use only Exchange in your Outlook profile -
make sure your recipient policy is set up to use your Internet domain for
the default/reply address, as well.

If you are still having problems sending out to the Internet, see if your
ISP will permit you to relay all Internet-bound mail through their SMTP
server as a smarthost (if you have to call them, don't tell them you have a
mail server - they may freak out for no reason).

In Exchange System Manager, set up an SMTP connector that specifies * in the
address space (or enter the domains you wish individually)
Select the option to forward to a smarthost, put your ISP's SMTP server
there
If required, set up authentication using your usual login/password

You have a perfectly good mail server in Exchange. You do not need to use
anyone else's to receive mail. Keep things as simple as possible and you'll
find things run a lot better.

For info on hosting your own mail, read
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF002.html - since you're on SBS, you
will need to re-run the CEICW, but it's good to understand how this all
works anyway.
