I have set up OWA and opened up http traffic to my mail server which is different from my web server. Do I need to worry about security on my mail server. If I am vunerable to anything, can you suggest what to install.
Thanks

If you've opened it up to external internet traffic then yes you would be at risk. Apart from applying the latest patches there’s not a great deal you can do. I would not use this setup. Look at VPN access as an alternative.

If you open ANYTHING, you are vulnerable, including VPN.
If you can live with that, fine.
Extra security for OWA would be to use SSL.
