Okay, I'm surprised [Telefonica] doen't block that. It's usually the very first anti-spam measure access providers use.
Well, that's the thing, they don't block any port that I know. You may be able to browse windows computers shares across internet here. I remember that I got such attempts when I was using a modem, not a router with NAT.
I have not heard of anyone blocking outbound traffic on anything but port 25.
And I like they don't block anything! I find disgusting that Bell is blocking my access to Telefonica. If someone is using the net to spam, kill that person full access, not everybody access to some port.
It is simple, if someone uses port 25, investigate.
A waste of time and effort. It is even simpler, block 25, let everyone use 587, as it was always intended. Port 25 is for MTA-to-MTA transfers.
I find blocking 25 intrusive on my freedom. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))
