I would only open up inbound ports 25 and 80. I don't believe that I-Mail needs port 443 open. Then, if you wanted to secure it even more, only allow port 110 for outbound traffic. I am not sure if you will need to open up port 80 outbound as well. Also, depending on what firewall software/ hardware you are using, you can also block/ allow port access by IP addresses or IP address ranges to further secure the server.
