You could get your firewall ACCEPT but LOG the outgoing 25 from anything 
but your mailhub.

Have often wondered whether a transparent mail-proxy could be set up,
similar to a transparent web-proxy, with your firewall catching all port 
80 and redirecting to 8080 on your squid server.  Never got around to 
seeing whether this was possible ...

... then again I agree with the others, blocking outgoing port 25 is the 
better idea, but only if it is not going to get you fired.

Cheers,

Kal

"All parts should go together without forcing.  You must remember that
the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you.  Therefore,
if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason.  By all
means, do not use a hammer."  -- IBM maintenance manual, 1925
