Re: Email....what to do part2 :)

If the remote users are using Outlook 2003, they can connect directly to
Exchange via RPC-over-HTTP. If they aren't using Outlook 2003, the can
connect Outlook directly to Exchange by VPNing into the server as opposed to
VPNing into the router. For this to work you'll need to set up RAS on the
server and forward PPTP through the firewall. Takes several steps to set it
up, but my users love being able to use Outlook directly. It's also fairly
simple to set up DHCP on the server instead of on the router (with a one-NIC
setup there can be only one DHCP). The remote users don't need to be part of
the domain to use Outlook under this arrangement, although all of my remote
users use the domain name as the workgroup name.
