well.. actually I did chat with my IT folks some time back. The POP3
port was earlier kept open long time back --- but some specific group
in company was generating a bit too much of POP traffic -- and the
firewall wasn't strong enough to virus/trojan scan everything.

So they put a blanket blocking on that port. They are quite okay with
webbased traffic.

I think you are right. The gain vs effort --- might not be worth enough
to compromise the overall security.
