It's a legitimate UNIX-way configuration, bit the
world ceased to be that way 10 years ago. SMTP
servers no longer accept users' mail at port 25,
but tend to do this at ports 465 and 587 instead.

Agreed, but:

this is a hole for spam and it will be plugged
sooner or later, and you will be required to
supply some sort of auth token in order to be able
to send your "legitimate" email, thus back to
"home base" again, i.e. to braindamaged gmail SMTP
server who alone can surely check whether you are
legitimate ptilopt...@gmail.com or not.
