Well, preventing customers to use Windows(tm) boxes behind broadband
accesses would help much much more to prevent spam. *scnr*

Because there are pretty much KMU, which are having their own mail
server, which is hard to set up if you have to use a relay server with
authentication. Some Exchanges still don't support that.

If I was a customer, blocking a relevant port is a service downgrade
(without proper information) and I would pretty hard insist in cancling
the contract.

Have a nice day!
