That's surprising. The SBC techs around here are refugees from Burger King and don't know how to spell SMTP, let alone know what blocking Port 25 means or even that they do it. They're more likely to ask you what browser you are using when you call about an e-mail issue than they are to ask about your e-mail client.
Save your money. All your attorney will do is charge you for his time and maybe send them a letter which will be ineffective. Until you are damaged monetarily, you've got no grounds and even then, it is a matter of significant damages to make it worth the time, expense, aggravation and the risk you could lose, anyway. I think a better and more positive bet is to alert your customers and tell them you have a solution . . .
