Mail server add-on for ReadyNAS?

Is it just me or is anyone else concerned about security vulnerabilities by exposing services to the Internet?

Nobody said that just because you have a mail server up and running you also have to expose that service right to the internet. You could just use it to collect your mail from various external accounts and have it act as a local central hub and master storage for your clients all the while providing services to the users that the external providers don't offer. That's no more a security risk than using your email client and connect to any given mail provider to fetch your mail from there.

Or to put it more general: The availability of a technology in itself isn't risky. It's just the users of any technology who create the risks ;)
