No, it bypasses your filters.  The fetch is done via pop/imap, and 
sendmail is not involved.  So the users would be vulnerable if they
fetched mail from elsewhere (if that elsewhere was not protected).

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
