I do allow my use to and I even use it

pop3 is inbound

smtp is outbound

I have a account on my bbs call bot-time (it get 99% of the spam - it is set 
that way) and I just block the ip number & the e-mail accounts and the subject.
and I have a e-mail program get the bot-time e-mail off my bbs and to it and 
then it get it own folder so I can block stuff on the bbs
