    Hi,

    I am wondering whether people use a front-end MX server in front of
    SBS Exchange? I have always done this as a matter of having it
    drummed into me that I should have such a host always in front of
    Exchange.

    However, which devices do people use, or do most people here not
    actually bother?

    I use a Net Pilot device, which is a good anti spam and antivirus
    solution in front of Exchange.

    Andrew.

    I've only got one of my 15 or so SBS servers with a mail device infront of
    it.

    Because ISA proxies the mail through itself, it's not that bad.

    Probably more of an Enterprise solution. I have not seen it used in SBS
    world.
