Ok, I've got a couple of scenarios, which of them is the least risky?

Exchange 2000 mailbox server on the LAN, accepting/making connections
using SMTP through a firewall to the internet

Exchange 2000 mailbox server on the LAN, accepting SSL secured OWA
connections from the internet, again, protected by a firewall.


Basically I am being told I may have to do both with the same box, but
I'd rather have the smtp traffic going through a DMZ based gateway
running McAfee Webshield, and let the OWA clients come into the internal
box over SSL (which I see as less of a risk than opening up port 25.

If you had to choose one of the 2 above scenarios, which would it be?

Regards,

Rob Ellis
