[TriLUG] Re: Port 25 blocked

[Stephen Hoffman]

I agree...to a point...if you can't send email out port 25...then is there
really a worry about you becoming an open relay...I say open inbound 25
and keep outgoing closed.  This way should someone make a mistake and be
open to the world, BS will catch it because you can only smart relay
through them, you'll be pushing thousands of emails through THEIR server a
day...

Then punish the HELL out of that fool!
