Microsoft Exchange Security

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I'm told Exchange is now really secure so it's safe to put it on a public
IP without a firewall in front of it. So I've decided to publish a list
as I find them so people here can recommend any patches?

Here is one belonging to a spamming IT consultant - this must be secure,
eh? 87.127.190.66 - the recipient verification is first class:

robert.taylor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
