You'll have to do this manually.

What we do that works very nicely is to define a subzone so we have loc 
and cloc:loc in zones, loc policy is to drop all and cloc policy is to 
allow all. Squid has a url_rewrite program that does 'shorewall add 
eth0:whatever cloc' and then they can breakout. You can obviously 
replace the squid captive portal system with something to check your 
pop3 log files or whatever you want.
