Well, I'd rather keep all of my (I have a small consulting company) mail
on the inside, making it harder to get to.  So, I'd say it's to secure
the mail storage some more.

I realize email is whizzing around the net in plain text (for the most
part) and can be easily sniffed.  I just think keeping mail in the
internal network would be a little safer than leaving it on a Internet
facing box.
