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 !!
