If your gateway is not overburdened, why bother making a change? Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP Freelance E-Mail Philosopher Protecting the world from PSTs and Bricked Backups!T

I've always configured my Exchange bridghead servers to forward outbound mail to the SMTP gateway / Antivirus box that sits in the DMZ. Recently I talked to another engineer that says he always configures his Exchange bridgeheads to go straight out to the Internet, bypassing the SMTP gateway. His logic was that since A/V is already running on the Exchange mailbox servers, no sense in putting more load on the A/V box in the DMZ by having it scan all outbound mail again. I don't particularly like that approach. Just curious how others do it.
