Henry,

Thanks for the great response.  I was only looking at the internal users
accessing the features of the exchange server and truly didn't understand
why someone was recommending to put it out in the DMZ rather than using an
SMTP relay.  Your response made made me understand why the person I was
talking to was so against that.  For once, security is actually more
important than features to this job, so if opening up exchange services to
outside users makes the site less secure then there will be no services
available.

Thanks for all the help,

Mike
