I think that (certainly in a corporate environment like mine) it is best
to block any outgoing mail which is likely to be blocked, filtered or
altered by a large number of receiving servers.  My reasoning to users
always centers around "Many sites block mails of that type, you don't
want your clients getting notified that we tried to send them mail that
may have contained a virus, do you..."  By blocking content that other
mail filters are likely to find objectionable I protect my company from
presenting itself in an unprofessional way through the format of its
email.

Thats my story & I'm sticking to it!
