Tárgy: Re: [Exim] OT - Why you should not put Exchange on the Internet.

1. Never put a M$ box on the front lines?
2. Better to have someone try to hack a unix box than the production M$ box?
3. (on mail delievery) lower score on spam databases?
4. Primary filtering and scanning with no licence fee on M$ apps...
5. Unix box does mail queuing when you need to take the Exchange store
offline to do maintence...?
6. Better logging?
7. You are not cool if you don't use Unix?
