1. Put the mail server in the DMZ ... no way !!
2. Replicate mailboxes to a server in the DMZ ... no way too, the volume to replicate is too large.
3. Install a reverse proxy (apache) in the DMZ ... the solution i prefer ... but doesn't seem really easy to implement as IBM doesn't really help customers to implement such a solution. No whitepapers, no documents ... What is iNotes for if there is no way to secure it correctly ?
As Jean-Yves points out there are redbooks on iNotes deployment scenarios.

4. Buy a third party product such as this F5 appliance ( http://www.f5.com/solutions/applications/ibm/lotus-domino/ ) but it's quite too expensive and supports only Domino 6.5 ...
F5 has a number of edge of network devices that can be used to secure traffic to (Domino) servers behind them. These are often used in conjunction with reverse proxies (the security / authentication / authorization layer) to load balance for highly available solutions.
