Very  good  reasons,  although  you  should  be  aware that offloading
outgoing   SMTP   completely   to  another  server--rather  than  only
offloading remote submission--is more efficient. Your messages will be
despooled  much  faster  when  using a smart host, freeing up the disk
faster,  but  that's  still  not  as  good as not touching the mailbox
server  at all. Of course, there can be business and technical reasons
that preclude this latter setup.

If  you're  now  clear  on  the  reqs, I'd say go for it and enjoy the
freed-up  resources,  keeping an even more distributed architecture in
mind for the future.
