Re: Secure SMTP setup/ISA 2004

I really can't comment on installing 2003 with ISA at all, but I would say
that in the past I have always done this with a BSD box running Postfix
and SpamAssasin, and things have worked really well.
So aside from it being Windows, it shouldn't be any different, I would
definately recommend the firewall though.
