personally, i don't agree with network admins claiming opening security
ports is a risk. ports 80 and 25 are almost always open and they offer
plenty of risk. the question really is, is the admin knowledgeable enough to
control traffic security. companies like checkpoint (they might have been
acquired - not sure) make/made great products for securing internet/network
traffic.
whatever server or software you're using may also allow you to control the
port the traffic is sent through. that's how some of the popular IM-type
clients get around companies blocking them through the firewall - they
send/receive on port 80 :).
