Only if you care about spam _leaving_ your network, not entering it. I don't
know how much an IT department should worry about that or not - I wouldn't
have thought that it would be a real concern, but maybe there's a reason to
worry about that. However, as an employee, it's _extremely_ annoying, and it
costs me time (and thus costs the company mony) every time I need to send an
e-mail with a personal e-mail account rather than my corporate one.
