Note that unless your network is firewalling SMTP traffic, if you have
users sending attachments outside of the company, they can easily  
do so by
specifying an external SMTP server to send their mail through.

And even if you DO firewall SMTP traffic, they can always use gmail,  
or any of the other 8 billion webmail solutions out there.  Not to  
mention directly contacting SMTP servers on non SMTP ports.  Many  
servers have port 587 open, for example.

If you are thinking this will make your internal data 'secure' you  
are seriously mistaken.
