1) You don't even really *care* if they do or not, because...

2) if some other site is running with an un-AUTHed open port 587, the 
miscreants will
find it and abuse it just like any other open mail relay. The community will
deal with it quick enough so you don't have to. And at that point, it's the
open mail relay's IP that ends up on the block lists, not your mail relay's IP.

Other people running open port 587s tends to be quite self-correcting.
