Speaking of mail etc

As a rule, the Exchange client should not be used outside of the "Local"  
network.  We always recommend alternative access mechanisms (POP/IMAP/OWA*)  
for external client access to the Exchange Server or, if feasible, VPN access
to utilize the full Exchange client.

* IMHO - OWA should always be protected using something along the lines of
Whale e-Gap to protect against IIS/Exchage vulnerabilities.
