Depends on the configuration of the SMTP server and the mail server & client running on the laptop. With SMTPAUTH and/or TLSSMTP, and using a different (unfiltered) port, this shouldn't be a problem.

         In other words, by blocking output SMTP, mobile users
 are hurt badly.

Can be. Yup. Think of all the iPass and GRiC customers who don't even know who the local provider is that they're dialing up, so that they can get a network connection?

                  I know that *I* certainly am.  Constantly and
 serously.

I'm very sorry to hear this. Maybe we can help you get SMTPAUTH and/or TLSSMTP set up on your server and/or client?
