Switching from POP to native Exchange - Security Concerns
Hi all, I have been told on other forums, that the pop connector on my server (SBS) is not supposed to be a long term fix. All well and good, I thought, I'll look into redirecting the MX record for our mail directly to the server. I am VERY worried about becoming an unwitting SPAMbot, and having out SMTP hijacked. The Exchange books all say this won't happen, so long as I install an edge server etc. The problem is, we are a firm of about 10 staff members, and it makes no sense us having boxes all over the place for edge servers etc. I have one box acting as a file host for shared files (Win 7) and a second performing all other server functions (ADDS, Exchange, DHCP, DNS etc). What steps can I take to ensure my server isn't broken and used for nefarious means?Mike Oke MCTS, MCITP (Windows 7)
