You're missing the supporting infrastructure (and the costs associated) such
as the domain controller, wins, etc. If you have the hardware for the
Exchange server, why not use the OS as a relay and forgo the installation of
Exchange? That would be cheaper IIRC.
Performance is another issue to contend with. Exchange 5.x is significantly
impaired compared to the throughput of the SMTP server.

I may still have to go through the pain. We MAY have the budget to purchase
a 3rd party Anti spam program such as GFI Essentials so my boss still wants
me to at least research this issue further. I do like the SMTP relay option
though. Supposing I do have to go through with the second Exchange install,
am I missing any significant issues??
thanks again,
Greg

I second that. To install Exchange in the DMZ is a pain that requires other
supporting infrastructure (NT domain for example) and since you're not
installing the other services you would have an easier time securing a
Windows 2K/3 SMTP relay in the DMZ.

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.

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
