I'm receiving the following notification from my firewall:

FTP-proxy-py

Is this something I should be concerned about? Does exchange use FTP for some purpose?

Exchange does not use FTP in any way shape or form.
I'm guessing your Anti Virus application is pulling updates. I guessed this because I FTP'd to the box, logged on as anonymous, went into the pub directory and did a dir in there. The directories there say INOCULAN so I guess you have the CA a/v product.
Am I right?
