That would depend which Unix server you set up. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 2:36 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange SMTP Routing
I concur. It is all about who is running it. If I setup a Unix server today, the thing would be about as secure as a house with no doors or windows, but the holes in the wall for them. -----Original Message----- From: Drewski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 2:29 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange SMTP Routing If you want to show me documentation for that, I'll happily read it. It won't change my opinion that NT is just as secure as UNIX, if you administer it properly. -- Drew ******************************** Visit http://www.drewncapris.net! Go! Go there now!

We are looking at building a server that just does SMTP relay\filtering\scanning and put it in our DMZ. We are also looking at putting Trend virus scanning on the box so that our mail is scanned by two different AntiVirus companies before delivered to the users desktops. Our logic behind this is sometimes Trend comes out with a pattern a little quicker than Symantec, so we do both. We also do attachment filtering with Norton For Exchange. I guess I have a couple of questions about this; 1. What is everyone else using for SMTP relay. What software, location of server, etc. 2. What is the best SMTP relay software\hardware? Should I just use another install of Exchange on a regular server`? Any suggestions or relevant web sites will be greatly appreciated.
