Thanks for the responses. Id like to use ASSP for my mail2 server, that holds
mail for my domains should the primary fail. This is where most of my spam
comes from, so I think the delaying and spamfiltering will help. I think I will
use an ACL on my router to only allow access to the port from specified (the
office) ips for configuration.

Absolutely, there should always be some sort of protection from the internet
blocking everything but the needed ports. Either a gateway doing NAT, or a
real firewall appliance. Check out www.smoothwall.org for a free solution
using a spare computer. I run this at home. I use it to forward ports 25
and 110 and 587 to my email server inside my network. At work we use an
expensive commercial product and only allow SMTP and VPN traffic inbound.
Additionally I am running Avast antivirus, Comodo Firewall, and
SpywareTerminator on my email server to further protect it from trojans and
the like if it ever does get hacked.
