The replies I've seen so far appear to misunderstand the question, as far as
I can tell. The original question, if I read it correctly, is -- Suppose we
have a user with a webmail account (Hotmail, yahoo, mail.com, etc). They
can, of course, access the account because we allow HTTP traffic. How can
we prevent them from sending attachments out through that web based service,
thereby bypassing our internal SMTP servers?
In other words, how do you stop someone from sending things out via a mail
mechanism which the company does not control?
