That's why network guys set up port 587 SMTP support, or ...even 
worse... authenticated port-80 SMTP relays on an otherwise idle machine 
in your NOC. Since its not for general consumption it doesn't need to be 
easy or automatic as long as it works.

I have been to hotels that wouldn't allow SSH or telnet, and only 
allowed port-80.. hence the creation of monstrous kludges on top of the 
only open port.

YMMV,
