Chris,
Could Carlo use FireWall-1's SMTP Security Server to accept SMTP mail directed to the
firewall and then forward the email to an internal SMTP server? If Carlo could do
this, what would be the advantages or disadvantages of doing it this way?

Personally, I'd keep the Exchange serve inside, set-up postfix or sendmail
on a *nix box(es) on the DMZ, only allow inbound connections to Exchange
from the external mail server and correctly set-up relaying on both boxes.
My $.02.

Importance: High
Hi everybody,
I am a rookie in security solution deployment so I hope that someone can
help
me. My company is planning to install Check Point FW-1 as corporate firewall
to protect its business from the bad guys of the Internet and we already
have
MS Exchange Server 5.5 as mail sistem. We plan to leave the mailserver in
the
internal network, but we are just wondering if it is a safe behavior to
allow
external mail servers to connect to ours directly through the firewall or if
it better to install a mail proxy (maybe set up in a dmz) with the task of
accepting inbound mail connection. In the latter case, this mail proxy
should
be skilled enough to detect some evil behavior (spamming, relaying, bad mail
protocol systax and so on).
Thanks in advance
Carlo Malandrini
