More than one Edge server must be deployed.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

To ensure hostile insiders are unable to easily commit DoS attacks and reduce the effectiveness of mail flow throughout the environment, a second Edge server is deployed to allow for multiple paths of mail flow both internally and externally into the environment. This prevents a single point-of-failure and allows for service to continue in the event of a DoS attack targeting one Edge role.
