I think this was for outbound traffic, not inbound.

How would you ensure that the IP address ISA used to send mail to the
Internet changed?  I can't think of any way it could; unless it can do a
one-to-one NAT.

A non-ISA server solution is available, though.

Three mail gateways with external interfaces on them are used in the mail
traffic path both inbound and outbound.  ISA could then sit between them.

Would require 3 MX records, though, and some modification of the Exchange
SMTP Connector (assuming Exchange inside) to use the mail gateways as smart
hosts.

Mail flow would then go Internet -> Mail Gateways -> ISA -> Exchange for
inbound and Exchange -> ISA -> Mail Gateways -> Internet for outbound.

Could get more clever with load balancing on either side but I figured less
complexity with this example would help make it easier to understand. :)
