Good for HTTP, POP, IMAP, etc. But if you're looking at SMTP in a DMZ, a FE server is probably not the best idea - the IIS SMTP service would probably fit better here.

Is it possible to sufficiently harden Windows 2000 / Exchange 2000 to be a viable candidate at the firewall/DMZ level? We are currently looking at using Sun boxes at the firewall level to pass mail in and out of the DMZ to our Exchange infrastructure. I wanted to investigate whether it was possible to make the whole infrastructure Exchange and what risks are involved. Can someone point me to specific articles discussing this topic?
