Of all the reports I get on our abuse mail at the ISP I work for, about 90% are MS Exchange boxes. That, and that MS Exchange doesn't fully follow RFC spec from time to time. Best option would be: Internet<--->Sendmail<--->Exchange This allows all the whiners to use their groupware internal and make sure mail to the outside world gets handled normally and is adequate to providing anti-spam measures.
