Hi !

We would like to implement iNotes to allow our users to access their mail from Internet. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be easy if you want a little safety. The same solution should be used for the iNotes Ultralite for iPhone !!

Here are different scenario but none are really satisfying :

1. Put the mail server in the DMZ ... no way !!
2. Replicate mailboxes to a server in the DMZ ... no way too, the volume to replicate is too large.
3. Install a reverse proxy (apache) in the DMZ ... the solution i prefer ... but doesn't seem really easy to implement as IBM doesn't really help customers to implement such a solution. No whitepapers, no documents ... What is iNotes for if there is no way to secure it correctly ?

4. Buy a third party product such as this F5 appliance ( http://www.f5.com/solutions/applications/ibm/lotus-domino/ ) but it's quite too expensive and supports only Domino 6.5 ...

What's the way you used to implement iNotes over Internet ?

Regards
