RE: Request for opinions of webmail appliances

OWA (Outlook Web Access).  It's a web interface for Exchange which uses
SSL certificates.  Runs over IIS on the Exchange Server.  It's pretty
secure and the only ports you need to open on your firewall are 80 and
443.  Also, the web interface is almost identical to Outlook, so it's
easier for regular users to use.

Subject: Request for opinions of webmail appliances

I would like to put this out as a question for anyone involved in a
project for web mail server systems.

I am looking at instituting a web mail server system from a DMZ that
would also interact at a secure level with an Exchange server on the
internal network.

Can anyone give me there comments on any systems that they are or have
used in this scenario or something similar?
