Hello,
By this interpretation all servers that receive mail from exchange would also
require CALs after all the are connected to the exchange server. I have all
kinds of contacts setup that go all over the world. Are you saying that if I
assign a local SMTP address to them that they Need CALs? I don't think so.
CALs are required for anything (device or user) that will access the
Information Store and not for anything else. At least that's how I interpret
the Licnese.

Why not have the engineer that gives you the interpretation send you an
E-mail with his interpretation. In that way, you are covered.

The users are not directly connecting to the Exchange server, so I do not see
how that requires a license. But, you spoke to an MS employee, so I must be
wrong. However, in the past I have received inconsistant answers to the same
question, so until I see this written on their website, my mouth will be
salty. :)
