port 1109

I have been having many problems with my users
having Outlook hang on them and not finding my mail server.
The users go thru the firewall to get/send their mail.

The problem started whenI think I put port 1109
into my ipchains rules as a port that would not
be allowed. I checked /etc/services and it reports
that port is for kpop. I know nothing about kpop
(maybe something to do with encrypted pop?), but
I did some poking around, and after watching some
stats go by, I noticed Outlook using it.

Short of the obvious (what do you expect from m$), why
would Outlook do this? I thought ports 110 and 25
were sufficient for mail to function.
Did I miss something?
