Who says it's not a good idea? :P I generally prefer a gateway for INGRESS. Egress is arguable.

I know the prevailing opinion is don't let exchange talk to the internet but I just have our hub server send the external emails out...I have no problem with Exchange making outgoing connections. Not trying to stir up that debate, just tossing out the simple fix. From: Al Rose [mailto:arose...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, November 30, 2012 10:07 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Build a SMTP Smarthost for outgoing emails Hi, We currently run an old anti-spam gateway that we use as a smart host for outgoing emails. All anti-spam features have been disabled so it is just a SMTP server for now. In Exchange, this is setup at the Send Connector level where the * address space is configured to: route mail through the following smart host IP_of_our_antispam_gateway We would like to shutdown this device so we need to replace it with a server that would be used as a smart host by our Exchange 2010 Servers (only 2 members of a DAG). Would a single server with SMTP feature enabled be sufficient? Only 150 users. Our only requirement is to be capable of using TLS in the future.
