    It is probably filtering connections to port 110 of the exchange 
server. I would assume that when the phone goes online it has a ip 
address that is just part of a subnet that is allowed to connect 
to the exchange server though the firewall. Either that or when the 
phone goes online it is being routed though a machine that exists 
behind the firewall. 

    Most likely its the latter of the two. I'm sure that if you could 
snag the phone's ip address it could be DoS with attacks such as 
land, jolt, nestea, ping of death, and those types of attacks so 
they would want to have the phones protected behind a firewall.
