RE: How do folks firewall MS Exchange?

["Desai, Ashish" <Ashish.Desai () fmr com>]

Have you thought about using Outlook web access. Its a kludge but can be
secured
as you just have to deal with allowing 443 in. You can use a Netscape
reverse proxy on UNIX
as a jump point in the middle if you are uncomfortable with sending clients
directly to IIS.
