It depends, but generally speaking it is safer to put it into the DMZ.
This assumes that the DMZ is protected by some kind of firewall, and the
LAN is protected from the DMZ by some kind of firewall. This will protect
the internal network if the mail server is compromised. However, having a
mail proxy in the DMZ and the mail server on the internal network is even
more secure.
I hope this helps,

Hi There
Can somebody please shed some light.
Is it safer to place your mailserver in the DMZ or in your LAN (with NAT
configured)?
Thank you
