Sorry if this is a silly question, but I am trying to work out a (temp) solution to enable outlook clients to access company/exchange email remotely over the internet using OUTLOOK (not OWA) ... (apparrently it is not available on exchange 2000 to use the rpc/http option..? Is this true..?) Here is what I came up with: (similar to iphone/imap/exchange setup) 1. Publish Exchange 2000 IMAPS (with a company/private Certificate) through ISA 2006... 2. Publish "smtp" to exchange server on a non 25 "forwarded port" ( we already have smtp/25 going to a seperate spam filter system) through ISA... 3. Outlook client uses IMAP/SSL(993) and smtp through the forwarded port number....(he has to say "yes" to the "certificate may be invalid" box...it is not a public certificate...) It seems to work...Am I missing something? Is this "secure" ? Is there a "better" way to have an outlook client access exchange2000 remotely over the internet? Thanks in advance !! (I also posted this in the "clients" group...)
