All sound advice for enterprises, however the part about putting your MTA on a dedicated IP is just nonsense. Here in Denmark 90% of companies have less than 10 employees, so most just run on business adsl lines or similar smaller connections, where there is only 1 WAN ip.

Who suddenly decided you need multiple WAN ip's to host a mail gateway?

In my humble opinion its taking it way too far when you combine things that has nothing to do with mail with a mail blocking filter...
