A failover cluster provides high availability by making application software and data available on several servers linked together in a cluster configuration. If one server stops functioning, a process called failover automatically shifts the workload of the failed server to another server in the cluster. The failover process is designed to ensure continuous availability of critical applications and data. [Exchange 2007]

An Exchange Server 2007 connector that uses a Drop directory on a Hub Transport server to send messages to a local messaging server that doesn't use the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) as its primary transport mechanism. These messaging servers are known as foreign gateway servers. Third-party fax gateway servers are examples of foreign gateway servers. The address spaces that are assigned to a Foreign connector can be SMTP or non-SMTP. [Exchange 2007]

Forms-based authentication provides a Web logon screen for users to authenticate to gain access to their mailboxes when using Microsoft Outlook Web Access. When you use forms-based authentication, your logon credentials are stored in a temporary cookie. Storing these credentials in a cookie provides a more secure mechanism for ensuring session logout and automatic timeout. The initial user's name and password is still transmitted in clear text, similar to basic authentication. This is why SSL encryption must be used with forms-based authentication. [Exchange 2007]
