That's nuts. The best way to do that is to put a simple SMTP relay host, NOT an Exchange server, on the DMZ. The IIS SMTP Service that ships the NT Option Pack works fine with NT, or the IIS SMTP Service that comes with W2K Server is fine as well. See:
http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq_appxh.htm Q198415 - 8bitmime For instructions on how to do this with NT, but it's very similar with Windows 2000.
