How to config two mail server
I am thinking setting up two mail servers. One for income mail only and one for outgoing mail only.
With this type of setup, can I turn off the all the relay function (including authorized users) on the income mail server and still recieved mail from in and out of the domain? (Since no one will be sending email through this server)
Also, can I turn off "Anonymous Access" in Authentication of Access of SMTP server of the outgoing mail server? (Since no one but authenticated user will be sending through this server and it doesn't need to accept other smtp server's request.)
Is this an ideal setup or there are better way to do it.
Thanks

So there will be no benefits using two server one for sending and one for receiving?
The reasons were, i had to turn off relay for everyone and create another group and contain all the mobile users, b/c there were some unauthorized relaying.
However, members of our mobile user group changes a lot.
I know its a bit over kill for fix the problem, but I don't have enough knowledge to know anyother options.

The only reason to have a second server would be if you were putting a server in to a DMZ to act as a gateway. That server would not be an Exchange server, but a plain Windows 2003 IIS server.
If I was doing that then I would also load the machine with an application that can do LDAP lookups, so that you can block email for unknown users. The machine could also do initial AV and AS scanning.
