I found another utility that's completely free.  Port Mapper v1.40 from
http://www.kmint21.com/free/.

As Jerod pointed out you need to make sure you don't bypass any SMTP
AUTH requirements.

ie, exclude 127/8 from trusted networks. Don't know whether that would break anything.


Best practice for port 587 is that all msg submissions require SMTP AUTH (ie, no domains are local to the MTA, all domains are effectively relay domains. In Imail terms, "no mail relay"). In that case, spammers can't hit your local domains via 587 (because they can't AUTH), and you wouldn't need any anti-spam on port 587.
