yes, and so does the exchange server.

I wont go in to details about the setup for obvious reasons.
The mail lands on MX A (smtp) and relays it to MX B wich is my exchange server.

MX B Only accept incomming traffic from MX A.

That keeps the ddos attacks and scriptkiddies away.
I love to far out in the country to get anything bigger then a 5/5mbit connection.
A larger ddos attack would block access to the Cisco VPS consentrator and customer support
That is why I dont have email or webtraffic go straight to the server.
The outlook webaccess aitn even hosted locally either. Its just the frontend on a remote server

When sending email from my Outlook or outlook-webaccess, it is send out by MX B (domain.local)
