No, I'm serious. Microsoft's "kitchen sink" type of software often
leads to serious exploits. Linking Exchange with IIS (already an
insecure product) is a bad idea (tm). Exchange 2000 has had 15 seperate
reported vulnerabilities since it's release, and IIS has had 114!! In
comparison, the MTA that I use has had 1, and that was all the way back
in 1999. Now that overstates the case a bit because both types of
servers tend use auxillary programs, however I'd bet that my servers
overall total is 1/10th that of an Exchange server.
