Hello,

I'm wondering if there is any way to locate an Exchange server on my
internal network and place some kind of email appliance on our DMZ to
actually send and receive email to the world and to the Exchange
server on my internal network?

Basically, I don't want my Exchange server to be accessible to the
world in any way.

So ..

Internet -> My Email Appliance -> Firewall -> Exchange Server

I envision setting up a dedicated route in the firewall between the
email appliance out on the Internet and my Exchange server behind the
firewall on my local network?

Are there any email appliances that can work with Exchange in this
way? It's my (limited) understanding that Exchange server can't "pop"
to another email server to pull each Exchange users email, so I'm not
sure exactly how or if my plan could be put into action.

Thanks,

Mark
