best way to deploy email appliance

Question

Hi,

we have been using some other smtp gateway until now. Getting ready to deploy Sophos email appliance for antispam/antivirus/encryption but this differs from something we used to do since this appliance has only one network port. I would like to ask you guys, what would be best option for deployment where I have enough IP addresses in "live" or public DMZ.

Thanks,

D

We just opened port 25 and pointed it to the email appliance.  On the email appliance we set the internal exchange server as a destination and that's about it.  It setup actually pretty quick.  You may need to set your email server to accept email and to send email to the appliance though. :58042

I think this is actually the only way to deploy this. One of shortcomings of Email appliance, IMO
