That's we we did, we use a couple of servers in the DMZ that are gateways. Using this configuration, we aslo installed GFI Security & Essentials. We protect our server from outside access & block spam/viruses at the same time while allowing the Exchange server resources down to a manageable level. -----Original Message----- From: Andrey Silkin [mailto:silkin@xxxxxx] Sent: Friday, August 22, 2003 9:32 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: E2k -in the DMZ segment ! http://www.MSExchange.org/ Thank you Neil , but what do you think about the installation of IIS SMTP service ? I can configure this like smart-host . How do you think is this configuration more secure ?
