We do the same thing and we're just a Uni :-).  The only odd things is
that SMTP connections are handled (even though the MX points elsewhere)
but ICMP's are not passed.  Our configuration will let ICMP's get to the
box but all other services are blocked (ie. all MX's point to our
central mail hub).
