Exchange 2000 setup or configuration: 1) Dedicated link to internet being setup. Connecting router/firewall to hub on our network. Exchange 2000 is setup on the domain controller. Consultant wants to use Exchange for internal e-mail only and setup POP3 in Outlook 2000 on all clients and they will get their own POP/SMTP mail from the ISP. They say Exchange will create a hole in security and pose a major risk to network. If you want Exchange to get all e-mail, it should be on a separate network on the other side of the router. I do not feel this is correct. I would like more input on this.
I would like to have Exchange on the domain controller and send/receive all mail (internet & intranet). The mailboxes will then be stored onthe server and backed up. I can also use Norton to scan for viruses. This makes more sense to me, or am I wrong and Exchange will create a major security loophole.
Thanks for your help!
