Outbound ports to firewall?

Like most people, I've put some effort into filtering incoming email and firewalling my network to prevent nasties from getting in. But recent discussion of preventing the spread of Windows worms, viruses, etc. etc. has led me to a question I don't have an answer for.

Let's assume, for a thought experiment, that one of the Windows boxen inside my gateway firewall is infected with *something*, who knows what. To protect the rest of the 'net from this little bundle of pestilence in the time before I track it down and choke it to death, I should probably have some firewall rules to keep the bulk of the nastiness from leaving my network. Outbound rules.

What ports should I consider closing up to keep hypothetical infected inside my network from phoning home and/or spreading the infection?

Thanks,

pjm
