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.
