Small Business Edition + DMZ + SWA

Hi all,

for security reason I want to have all emails on my internal network (and not on the DMZ).
And for the same reason I want to install SWA on the DMZ (I do not want to "routing" port 80 or 443 to my internal network).

Is this configuration possible with "Small Business Edition" ?

Thanks Miche

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you'll need the Enterprise edition to do this.
Instead, you could consider using a seperate webproxy machine in the DMZ to forward requests to the Scalixserver on your internal network. This is the setup I use here. This webproxy machine can be a very simple Linux machine with apache and apache-proxy module installed.

Yes, you can easily do that.

1) Set up a mail server on the DMZ to accept mail and forward all mail destined for your domains onwards to the Scalix server. You can do black/greylisting checks here.

2) Set up Apache to use either mod_jk directly to port 8009 of the Scalix server (RHEL4) or in newer apache's (RHEL5) you can use mod_proxy to forward the connection to the Scalix server.
