If you're referring to Exchange 2000, I wouldn't necessarily create front-end servers just for SMTP. I'd use the SMTP service that comes with IIS to relay SMTP. You can use front-end servers for HTTP, IMAP and POP, though.

I heard that inetinfo will crash if the servers have any information stores of them, but since the stores generate delivery status msgs, you can't have the FE's as SMTP Gateways or the machine will start establishing TCP connections to itself indefinitely. Apparently there are Q articles out about this, but I haven't read them yet. I was curious to see who has tried to do this out in the field and what your experience has been like so far.
