Nick, Chris and anyone else concerned about the firewall setup,

If I install the mail and web on the firewall, then the bad guys can
only access stuff on the firewall if they manage to get in.

If I install them on the main server and they get in, then they will
have access to all the files kept on that server.

I still think I am better off installing mail and web on the firewall
until I get a lower spec PC to replace the gateway PC, or a higher spec
PC to be the mail and web server :).

This is hopefully only a short term measure.
