I believe this setup is a recipe for administrative disaster and should be avoided if possible. Many Exchange collaboration functions require that the Exchange Server service be the primary send/receive service. If you want to send using the Internet Mail service, it often requires a lot of moment-to-moment reprioritizing of services, which is unacceptable to the average user. If, instead, you keep the mail going out through the Exchange 2000 IMS, you need to maintain and sync SMTP addresses there and in Imail for all of the Exchange users. Also, you're losing out on the RPC message delivery, which is one of Exchange's proprietary improvements over POP3 polling that definitely has its good side. Troy, if you're already using Exchange for collaboration, and you don't have such high usage that distributing the load is absolutely necessary, I think you need to probe further into keeping your mail delivery to that single location (the Exchange server). You've done a good deed by Ipswitch in purchasing Imail, but it might be a headache to actually keep it deployed alongside Exchange! Maybe you need to also give us more info on the precise firewall issue so we can talk about/work around it. Ajay mentioned OWA, which I presumed you were already using--yes or no?
