Frankly, I'm a bit surprised RR hasn't done the same thing. On the other hand, they scan regularly and jump on anyone with open relays or other problems.

Then punish the HELL out of that fool!

If it's blocked they don't have to worry about a customer setting up an SMPT server that is an open relay which spammers love to abuse and causes headaches for the ISP.
