internet mail connector on front-end server?   

we currently have an Exchange 2003 SP1 server that's only running the
Internet Mail connector.

we want to now make it a front-end server (for setting up and
configured OWA/VPN authentication)........my question, although the
option box is there to switch it to a front-end server, a) can a front
end server also run the IMC? and b) if so, are there any config changes
that need to be made?

Thx,

J.

Re: internet mail connector on front-end server?   

Hi,

A front-end server can run a SMTP connector with no configuration changes. 
You will however need to keep the information store service running and have 
the mailbox store mounted as SMTP needs a mailbox to be able to create 
NDR's.
