The clients are faculty and staff. The idea is to protect from the Internet and the rest of the campus. Most clients are part of the domain, so yes, we have the domain logins as well as the Exchange. Others are just POP/SMTP clients, faculty mostly. We have some other kludges in place that require more ports open on the firewall (e.g. DNS zone transfers). I just wanted to do a brain check and make sure that I'm not making a big deal out of this and resisting too much.
