    I have installed a new 2003 Server with Exchange 2003
    and while planning the deployment I started reading and
    thinking about not opening my firewall to the Ex server
    and putting an SMTP server in my DMZ.

    I have a test 2003 Srvr. with ISA on it and I have the
    2003 SMTP service running - the 2003/ISA box will
    receive mail from the internet and the Ex Srvr will pull
    mail from ISA.

    My question is this- is this a good way to go about it
    with the SMTP service running on the ISA server?
    How likely might this be to be compromised? and
    being that the ISA server with SMTP running on it
    touches my LAN would it be better to have ISA or
    another firewall as the border and a separate box
    for SMTP?
