If you only port-forward the connections to the Exchange Server you will expose it to the world like you would run it on the firewall itself. You are right about forwarding the traffic (how else should they get their mail :), but IMHO it is far better to still use exim, but "only" as a smart-host to redirect mail from the internet to the Exchange-server and back. If you update your debian-box regularly, you don't have to worry about the security of the Exchange-server that much. later Steffen Burmeister, Dipl.
