Sure it makes sense, and my assumption was that it was no different than allowing the outside world to send email to a users mailbox, however I just wanted to be sure there was not something I was missing since this is a Public Folder and not a mailbox.

It's not really a security issue, per se. If this PF has to receive mail from the Internet, there really isn't any other way around it. Setting the Default to Contributor is the same way, except this is how people inside your Org will post to the PF. If Default is set to none, then no one internally aside from those who have explicit rights to the PF will be able to see or post to it. Does that make sense?

I never seem to get a reply? Are my questions too ignorant, irrelevant, am I not allowed to play? If so, can anyone suggest a list more on my caliber like Exchange-Dummies-101??? Seriously, I will happily post do a different list if that is preferred, I read the list religiously to learn from all of you as I am new to administering an Exchange 5.5 box, but if my posts are better off on another list I don't mind posting there, I am just not aware of it.
