I am pretty new to Exchange and although I am going to take a class the pressure to get it implemented is mounting. I have gone to the Exchange site and done the prep work for the forest and domain based off of one of their articles. I am planning on implementing in 3 stages which is move from MSMail to MSExhange internally, hosting our own SMTP, then putting the SMTP gateway in the DMZ. Do you know of any good articles on setting up Exchange? I am learning a lot with my test setups but would like to be a little more sure when I do the production setup. Thanks in advance. -----Original Message----- From: Thor [mailto:thor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 12:50 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Re: OT Slightly: Exchange 2000 http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Stephena- I have this exact setup... The DMZ is what you want to make attackers get through in order to GET to Active Directory... Not only is EX2k a nice price to get from a DMZ breech, the ports you would have to open up (assuming it contains mailboxes) to allow client access from the LAN would be far too dangerous. I highly recommend a DMZ SMTP-Gateway that will accept SMTP from the external ISA box, scan for viruses and strip attachments, that then smart-hosts the mail to the perimeter ISA that publishes to the internal EX2k box. Something like this- Net -> Ext ISABox -> SMTP Server Publishing to DMZ SMTP Gateway -> DMZ SMTP Gateway Actions -> Smart Host delivery acto perimeter ISA IP Address -> Server Published to Internal EX2k. With SMTP filtering on the ISA boxes. My .02 anyway...
