Hi. In terms of security, just make sure that whatever you use for web-based mail can support SSL logins. This way, any sniffer that may be on your company's network can't see your pwd, or at least not easily. As an example, I am probably going to run SSH off this box sometime in the near future when I get a router that actually supports dmz.
