MCP is done so that it is entirely up to you to add rules that do  
what you want. There are no pre-defined sets of standard rules that  
you can copy. For example, you might want to stop all mail leaving  
your company that contains the name of sensitive projects perhaps.

If all you are trying to do is to stop porn leaving or entering your  
site, you are probably better off using SpamAssassin and increase the  
score of some of the anti-porn rules.
