I doubt that; much more likely they'd bill you more and keep going.  You 
should definitely ask.

The problem with that is that spammers (and some viruses) send emails to 
ALL mx records for a domain, and some for A records as well; when my 
friend/client started using the company I wrote you about offlist he 
had to actually change his own mailservers so they'd no longer accept 
mail on port 25 and set up a different port, to significantly see his 
spam/virus load go down.  And then of course the company he used had to 
forward email to him on a different port.

Sure, but then you'll still be getting lots of spam and viruses because 
of the other MX records.

It shouldn't; changing MX records and port 25 shouldn't change http, 
which runs on port 80, or https, which runs on port 443.
