I really don't think it is secure. And even if for now it is it is better
to have two lines of defence against intruders. As well I am surprised
that you have ports below 1023 being open. Ideally all ports below 1023
should be closed then you open up the ones that you need like say 25 smtp
110 pop3 etc. Depending on what services you offer.
