Ho do I setup Exchange 2000 server with SonicWALL (DMZ or local, IP, address mapping)?

I'm not familiar with MSX-2000, but here the settings needed for MSX-5.5:

If you run it POP3/SMTP configuration only:
        - works with either NAT (i.e. Masquerading) or Basic
          (i.e. Bridging) mode
        - allow POP3 & SMTP from LAN to MSX
        - why did you choose MSX then - and not a real mailserver
          (okay, I'm biased, I confess...)


If you want full MSX functionality
        - won't work in NAT mode
        - allow NBT (UDP/137-138, TCP/139) from LAN to MSX
        - allow MS-RPC (TCP/135) from LAN to MSX
        - allow RPC-Reply (i.e. ANY !) from MSX to LAN

The last rule is why you won't want to place a MSX server into a DMZ - because you get no additional protection from it.

Bye
