    Hi,

    Since you have Exchange installed (and probably published through ISA) port
    25 should be opened -- if you want to receive e-mail from internet to your
    Exchange server...

    If you don't want or need an e-mail from internet, you can close your port
    25.

    If you will leave your port 25 open (for incoming e-mails) then make sure
    you have your Exchange server configured not to relay e-mail for any
    external domains but yours...

    I hope this helps,

    Mike
