Although I don't think it's good to block port 25, I think that allowing
port 25 only for customers who sign an agreement which says that:
* They will pay 1500NIS for every message from their account
- backed by a credit card with pre-authorization of the card
* If a recipient has complained
- showing the full headers
- and the message was sent in bulk
- and the sender cannot prove that the recipient actually asked for the
message
= by showing the double opt-in message logs complete with IP addresses
Sometimes people forget that they signed up for a list.
