Usually a trojan'd system will send using its own SMTP engine, which the OP
said was firewalled off.
A minority of trojan'd systems will automate Outlook - true, the policy I
describe will not catch these systems.
A minority of trojan'd systems will read the mail settings from Outlook, and
send to the SMTP server described therein. The policy I describe WILL catch
these systems, because they will (hopefully) be unable to decrypt the stored
password.
