Our LAN manager reciently changed the firewall to disallow pop3 service
to an from the internet.  I can understand that to stop service for
clients attempting to make a link from the internet, but I have a hard
time understanding what eliminating POP3 requests from the local net to
the internet will do to beef up  security.  Could someone enlighten me
please.
