Microsoft ISA allows you to publish your mail server (Exchange) without it being exposed directly to the Internet. They have an application filter that restricts commands, lengths of input, etc..

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.
