Currently, all companies need to be able to receive e-mail messages from the Internet. ISA Server 2006 provides a feature to securely publish e-mail resources to the Internet with the use of application layer filters.

ISA Server 2006 has a built-in wizard, called the Mail Server Publishing Rule Wizard, which is designed to assist in the creation of rules required to publish mail and Exchange servers.

Update the following table with information regarding your e-mail infrastructure.

Description Value

List the Internet domains that will be receiving e-mail messages.
