    Unfortunately, I am not at the luxury of taking the time or resources to do
    things like you suggest. People always come up with some form of idea that
    entails using Linux as the cheap route, but this also means one needs to
    learn how to do these things in Linux, or go with a route that requires
    spending money. In the end, it's just not worth it given the circumstance
    and resources available. Some people may call you a bad admin for not doin
    everything possible to make your OWA box as secure as possible, but when you
    evaluate the use of the system, and the security measures you currently
    have, it sometimes cones down the fact that it is simply not worth the
    effort.

    I've looked at this issue myself for my organization. You have some
    security issues that you have to solve. First SSL by itself doesn't
    solve
    completely your issues. With your current setup, you have some big
    problems, you have IIS directly connected to the Internet and you can't
    trust the client.
