I'm not sure why you need a proxy on this. The proxy is meant for large installations in order to load balance users across multiple servers while keeping the appearance of a single host server. Open port 993 directly to the server and you should be good to go. Security-wise it's pretty much the same to. Adding the proxy is going to add a layer of complexity bound to add up to headaches in the future.

If I port forward and the machine is compromised, my company email and the internal network are gone.

By proxying, I have at least slowed this process down and I already have the DMZ machine forwarding SMTP and running a webmail frontend.
