[dba-Tech] Small Business Server 2003 and smartphones

Yes, I was just looking at the corprate e-mail on my droid and it is designed to connect directly to an Exchange server.  Opening up the port to go to the server I "think" is going to be the easy part.  Making it a secure connection and blocking hackers is my other concern.

Most new smartphones come with an Exchange plug-in on them. The iPhones,
Androids and Windows phones that I've seen do, at least. Even the Nokia
phones on Symbian have a Mail for Exchange tool, so I can't see that it
would be too hard to do.

Blackberries are another matter. I believe you have to install Blackberry
Enterprise Server on your Exchange server to make them talk.

I have a SBS 2003 server running Exchange that I need to allow some of our
users to get their e-mail from on their smartphones.  I'm using a Sonicwall
firewall appliance between the internet and our network and with a dynamic
IP address.  I can use DynDns or no-ip if I need to have a static ip but
what settings to I need to make on the firewall and server to allow users to
securely connect?

Any ideas or links would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rusty Hammond
