We are using shared GroupWise folders these days instead of the shared
folders on the network because that way people offsite using webmail (Only
a handful have pcAW/vnc permission) can access the content of the shared
folders.

So when speaking about an email server it's stupid to use the term
"secure" since it's part of an insecure system. You can have
secure email without the server (pgp).

Since the mail server must talk to other external machines it seems to me
that keeping it as clean and simple as possible is a more secure way to do
things.

Someone using this would not be safe from you sending a stupid email. I
didn't touch on content filtering.
