That's the steps we took when I arrived here at Girl Scouts. We utilized ISA and had so many issues with the rules to set in place. In the past month we decommissioned the ISA server and placed a 5505 and the level of control is a lot smoother than ISA; since implementing the ASA, we have fewer attacks on the OWA / OMA and SMTP.

Next decide what type of server set up you want, ie a single exchange server or an OWA front end with a separate exchange back end. You also "may" want to set up a certificate authority on the DC in your internal network and create a cert for the "mail". You don't have to but you "may" want to obtain a static IP from your ISP and assign it to the external port on your firewall. Then get with your ISP or whoever will manage your MX records. Once installed you should be able to send email from your server by default. You'll have to allow propagation before you can receive. That's the small of it unless you need to set up a special SMTP connector. I've done this in the past using ISA 2004 and am in the process of moving from ISA to a Cisco ASA device. I'd like to keep ISA and set it behind the Cisco device so that I can set up a separate linux mail server using a different static IP but I'm not that knowledgeable with Cisco yet. There's an exchange list you can post to along with an ISA list, if you have that software to use.
