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. - Jonathan M Davis
