    Also, keep in mind local security policies in Windows 2000 allow for IPSEC
    traffic. If they other end points are linux boxes you can implement IPSEC
    box to box traffic as well. It is my opinion though that this put's a lot
    of load on systems that already can get overloaded quickly. I typically
    implement a VPN to accomplish this type of security.

    Some people have already mentioned using various forms of VPN, but there are
    also other products that either plug-in to Exchange 2000, or act at a
    gateway between Exchange and the Internet.

    We use MailMarshal from Marshal Software (recently acquired by NetIQ), which
    is a great product, supporting mail filtering as well as gateway to gateway
    encryption, plus a host of other features. It can either be integrated with
    Exchange2000, or act as a relay between the Internet and Exchange (5.x or
    2000).
