sbs2008

We have a SBS2008 server with 9 users using the embeeded Exchange. The MX record points to this server. This works fine.

We want 2 remote users to also have a mailbox on this server. The consultant say we can't because SBS don't allow to have remote users for Exchange. He may be right but seems very strange to me. I don't find anything related to that.

I don't want to touch this server for political reasons. So I can't to the test.

Can anyone confirm if Exchange on SBS2008 can or can't be reach from outside ?
