That seems fine to me.
What I would also do is 'consider' which outbound services you actually
need... and block everything else. Things like Instant Messaging etc which
can spread viruses.
And if you have an email server, secure it against relaying. And if you
have an IIS server, run the IIS lockdown tool and apply relevant security
patches..... and if you have....
:-)
Sometimes it seems like the opposition not only move the goalposts but steal
the ball as well....
