We only use authenticated relaying via 465/SSL and 587/TLS so none
of our clients use port 25 for auth/relay. The problem is our client
recipient has to contact our support which then asks them for a copy
of the error, then I get it, then I have to squirrel around in the
mail logs to determine IP/hosts and hope a dig mx finds the right
mailserver etc then whitelists that server/mx and cross my fingers
I got all that right and our client can continue on their merry way.

I don't know how to check what percentage of port 25 mailserver to
mailserver connections may be SSL encrypted to justify leaving SSL
on port 25 for server to server connections. Would you (or anyone)
have any idea how many mailservers are successfully connecting to
each other via SSL these days?
