No problem. I still think you want to consider scanning the mail before it hits Exchange. That's the reason for Interscan (or anything like it). This would be in addition to ScanMail. Like IIS, this will also allow you to queue as much email as you have disc for.
I agree completely with Ed, the only reason for an Exchange box in the DMZ would be as a front-end server. However, like I believe Ed has said in the past, I'm not so sure you're buying much in terms of security by doing that. Probably better to just pass 443 inside. Keep in mind that an FE/BE architecture requires Enterprise on the BE. If you are not sure you will make use of it, I wouldn't recommend spending the $ on the more expensive license.

The SMTP Service that comes with the NT 4.0 Option Pack, or the equivalent that comes with IIS and Windows 2000 Server can store as much mail as you have hard disk space. I think it would be very stupid and overly costly to put an Exchange server of any version in a DMZ except possibly for a Windows 2000 front-end server, which you don't need for the application you're describing.

Tom, The idea is to have a dedicated mail server (which we have already purchased) in the DMZ that is capable of storing a large amount of e-mail... just in case the ever reliable exchange server on the internal network falls over... (Just as you have suggested) It was also my initiative to put AV software on the box... I had looked at Trend and recommended Scanmail for e2k as the AV solution. Any more thoughts?
