>What's the advantage of putting the mail server on the DMZ as all the boxes are "public" boxes that is to say they are either web or mail (smtp/pop/imap)
If you have the ability to, it is always safer to put public servers in the DMZ rather than the LAN. The less traffic into the LAN, the less chance for a hack. That is what the design of a DMZ is for. It is a somewhat trusted zone, unlike the LAN which is completely trusted. (Internal threats not withstanding.)
