I think that by far the best option is to use your mailscanner machine 
as a filter prior to going to exchange,  you can you is then as a 
smarthost on the way out as well.  This will avoid the very perilous 
method of having your Windows SMTP MTA facing the internet and is the 
most robust and effective solution all round.

I have numerous clients doing it this way and it just works.  If you are 
using sendmail as your MailScanner MTA I can provide complete help on 
how to make this work with MailScanner and exchange (all versions).

All the Exchange options and Microsoft based solutions tend to be the 
"inflatable dinghy" approach to filtering whereas MailScanner is the 
battleship solution, and it costs less.
