I guess they are not mail servers. Not all servers have to receive mail.
Many companies have different servers for incoming mail than for outgoing
mail, webservers or whatever.

Is it common practice to close port 25 on bulk sending servers?  Should we
do this for Postfix servers which serve the same role?  What's the
advantage?

Maybe the MTAs that such senders use are so customised as to be capable of
only sending, not receiving, mail?

I have asked about very similar issue a week ago. Will bump.
