For the most part, Mail essentials is the same for either version (5.5 or 2000).  I've had good results when using Mail essentials, but my experiences have been on the Exchange 2000 version.

Subject: Mail Gateway requres Windows 2000 Server on the Internet?

I'm currently in the process of trying to find a replacement for our current mail gateway/attachment filtering software.  We use a product called Kinisphere, which is installed on NT Workstation that receives email, scans for attachment type and sends it onto an Exchange 5.5 Server that is sitting on the inside of our network.  The process is reversed for outgoing mail.
 
In looking at two of the most recommended products, Mail Marshall and Mail Essentials, I've noted that both require that they be installed on Windows 2000 Server (for the current versions).  Now I'll admit to a healthy level of paranoia in my day to day work life, however the idea of having a Windows 2000 server out on the internet, scares me silly!
 
Am I really being way too paranoid about this or is there really a safe way to put a Windows 2000 server out in the DMZ?  How much care and feeding have ya'll been faced with?  The company I work for tends to be quite conservative when trying to bring in new software (the idea of using Windows 2000 at all has management feeling quite uncomfortable).
