A tangent: I can understand blocking 25 outbound, but 445 outbound has
always seemed a bit excessive to me. Surely anyone who are afraid of
virus attacks will block 445 inbound, and this blocks CIFS over the
Internet, which is a perfectly legitimate usage. In particular, it
means that those who cannot or will not run a VPN service do not have
a good alternative for people logging into their home directory from
home.
