As long as your users don't have an external mailbox which gets
forwarded to the local one.
It's for work. And users shouldn't be using any other email account or
server for work stuff. And equally shouldn't be using their work email
account for personal stuff.
(and if they log in to their gmail/hotmail/whatever from work computers
for personal stuff, that's fine)
In that case a local user can send to that external address and it
gets forwarded from an external server to the local domain - with the
local domain as From.
And we'd reject it.
There are other cases, but that is one example which happens with a
lot of students here.
The difference is that I can tell my employees not to do crazy stuff :)

I totally agree. And everything is a compromise.
