My point is that your mail server still has smtp bound to every ip addy on your box wheather you firewall the extras out or not. So if someone from the inside has smtp set to one of the firewalled out ip addy's of your mail server, how would this help your mail server? I don't believe that canceling yourself out by using firewall rules is the answer.
