This is wrong. You are still able to get mail through port 25 and not
allowing telnet (at least telnet clients) to connect to the mailserver
over this port. Telnet sends options upon connection (link Terminal
Type) which a regular SMTP Connection would not send. Based on this you
could filter out telnet connections. Althoug I don't know of any
firewall product which supports this.

Best regards,
Pascal.
