Let me guess... he/she wants it to be closer to the Internet - improving mail delivery times ;)
Seriously, there's hardly any reasons why you should do this and lots of reasons why not. If you're going to stick anything on the perimeter network relating to SMTP, make it a machine which is doing content filtering/SMTP filtering, protecting your mail, rather than offering it up for public viewing (a la the bridgeheads). I'd appreciate it if you could ask them to explain their logic.. as I'm a bit baffled.

I don't feel comfortable with this and was wondering if any of you had done this and ran across any gotcha's?
