Hey Zafar,
You already have a webshield server in front of Exchange? Yes, Webshield
has its own SMTP server, it doesn't need IIS for anything. It's really
easy to configure it, all you need to do is tell it if the mail server
is on the same machine or on other machine, configure for which domains
it should deliver mail internally, configure what's your internal IP
range and you're protected. It works really well.
The only problem is that this solution will tie you up, meaning that you
won't be able to implement any other kind of defense on this server, and
it'll hit the CPU hard.
No need to be concerned about Open Relays and other security threats.
Webshield will deal with these problems very well.

Thanks for your kind reply.
I have few doubt coz I m new with webshield . I'll be placing my
webshield server behind my PIX without any ISA and in front of my
Exchange 5.5. I guess webshield have its own SMTP services and do not
use IIS SMTP. My concern about Open Relay and other security threats.
Please throw some light on this. Of course GFI is the best option.
Thanks
Zafar

Damn Chris, you didn't need to hammer Webshield =)
My two customers have Webshield for SMTP and it acts as an SMTP
server. It catches every virus that knocks on their door, but I think
that the stress made on the machine with ISA + Webshield isn't worth it.
And forget about using it as an anti-spam solution. Too poor.
My ISA with eTrust and GFI MailEssentials can still run on an
IBM Netfinity 3000 (Pentium II-266), because it can't hit much more than
10% of CPU usage. I guess eTrust AV7 + ME9 would definitely solve every
problem you have there.
But, if you buy MailEssentials+MailSecurity, GFI has a bundle
that is a killer. I would suggest you this solution in top of any other.
