I've been out of messaging for a while, but I'm not sure I'd say Exchange 
doesn't go in a DMZ. The Edge Transport role is support in the DMZ for 
2007/2010. 

In this scenario it may make more sense to use an appliance like Barracuda 
or IronMail.

DLP is way more than just restricting access to removable devices.

VPN access restrictions such as you mentioned are a good thing. There
are open source two factor auth solutions.
