| You might want to add to a bunch of well-known proxy ports to the outbound
| blocking.  Blocking port 25 should stop direct connections to remote mail
| servers, but people can just connect to a proxy and then to a remote mail
| server from there.
|

| access, ssh and various other ssl things and then add things as necessary
| after that.
