With an Exchange server, you must authenticate to the domain to access
email. That would be 'logging on to the network' in this case.

It would not be smart to allow such authentication and communication
unsecured over the internet.

There are a few common options:
- use Outlook Web Access
- use a VPN
- use RPC over HTTPS (for Outlook 2003 accessing Exchange 2003)
