I'm running a Postfix+Dovecot+SpamAssassin box in a DMZ. Everything is honkey dorey. Lately I've been thinking about moving Dovecot (for IMAP) into the internal network - I'd rather not store my mail on the CentOS 4 host in the DMZ.

Why?

Well, I'd rather keep all of my (I have a small consulting company) mail on the inside, making it harder to get to. So, I'd say it's to secure the mail storage some more.

I realize email is whizzing around the net in plain text (for the most part) and can be easily sniffed. I just think keeping mail in the internal network would be a little safer than leaving it on a Internet facing box.
