The last time that I tired contacting a friend in IBM Australia, I was told
that for an IBM employee to have the ability to send and or receive mail 
electronically from outside of the corporation would require high level
business approval. Apparently their gateway filters both incoming and outgoing
on a per user basis. (Someone from IBM may correct me, but that was the last
status about a year ago.) Boy, am I glad I work for a Networking company...
