The message store also supports alternative access via POP3 or IMAP4 (both socket based protocols over TCP/IP). There is an optional module (called "Internet Mail Services") that is really a MAPI <-> SMTP gateway (they avoid the word gateway like the plague, but that's what it is). Essentially it's a proprietary core with a thin veneer of standards wrapped around it. It also doesn't scale particularly well. On the other hand, they have supported quite a few recent extensions to SMTP in the IMS, such as SIZE, DSN, TLS, etc. Exchange Server (as seen through the IMS gateway) is essentially an MTA, and a direct replacement for Sendmail (as far as protocols go). It supports delivery to a specific node, or via MX record lookup to the preferred server(s) in each domain. IMS will accept any legit SMTP traffic from clients and/or other MTAs. As far as routing mail to it, then, treat it EXACTLY as you would a copy of Sendmail (assuming you have configured Exchange Server correctly). As far as routing mail FROM it, you need to know a bit more about Exchange Server and IMS. There are LOTS of books available on how to do this.
