I don't think so or we talk about different. I wrote to block to
outside and not to your internal LAN. If you have the POP3-Server
in your DMZ than you enable it to use from inside, but block it to outside.

The only reason to give the using of the pop3-server free to use from outside
is than your company have employees that have to do with customers and make a
lots of visits by the customers and need to read everytime the companymails.

Regards,
Ruprecht
