IMHO, there's definitely some security value is at least running a non-standard config.

Moving from seeing all attacks (even if blocked) to only targeted attacks decreases the amount of noise a detection system/reviewer has to deal with.

The important bit, though, is remembering only the above doesn't mean things that make it through are secure, which is usually where companies fall over. (I.e. implement dumb mail filter, then assume any mails that make it through are safe)
