I completely agree with this!! I've recently had a discussion off list with some people. I totally believe by DEFAULT this should be blocked for all broadband users. HOWEVER, this is ONLY if a simple request to unblock at NO charge is all it takes. It should be free and available, but NOT defaulted to open. How much spam/viri do you think that would kill right there?
So you ask, "What good does that do? Spammers just call up and unblock!"
Well with much less traffic, ISPs can now monitor port 25 traffic from customers. Being able to red flag very high traffic.
Plus, spammers may call and unblock their own connections, but they're not going to be able to call every ISP in the world and unblock port 25 for every machine they want running a zombie process :-)
