You can stop that if you do transparent proxying of SMTP traffic at your
edge. I've done that with Ciscos and Linux iptables - works great.

i.e. You can "allow" outgoing SMTP traffic from your LAN - but what actually
happens is all outgoing SMTP connections get remapped onto your Q-S servers.

Please don't ask me how to do that - that's not a 5-sec task and touches
upon several aspects of your IS infrastructure. Of course, I'm always
available as a consultant... ;-)
