As an alternative maybe you can use the SMTP service that comes with
Win2k. You can allow your apps to relay by allowing relay through IP or
authentication.

Its simpler and cheaper than using Exchange.

Just a thought.

Subject: [exchangelist] Installing a second Exchange 5.5 server in our
DMZ

http://www.MSExchange.org/

My boss would like to turn on relaying on our one and only Exchange
server
for application purposes.  He has proposed installing a secondary
exchange
server in our DMZ.  I believe I can get away with only the DMZ IMS
configured to transfer "inbound only", delivering messages by
"forwarding
all messages to host" (using the IP of the internal exchange server),
and
rerouting incoming SMTP mail to our email domains to "inbound".  I would
like to have as many other exchange functions as possible on the DMZ
exchange server to be disabled or deleted (public information store).
Is
there anything else I need to do to get the DMZ exchange server to
function
simply as a '"forwarding" SMTP server??  Both are on Win2k servers,
running
5.5 Enterprise, and internally we have a NT 4 domain.

Thanks,

Greg
