| Should be a standard for all consumer broadband! The blocking of port 25 should be a set standard for all consumer broadband connections across the board. Frankly, if users want to run mail servers, but can't lock them down, then they should be blocked. If a user wants that port unblocked, then the user can apply to have it unblocked.
Personally, I don't see why a common user would want to have that port open. In fact, I will go as far to say that 95% of the people on consumer broadband doesn't have a need to have that open. Those that do want that open, well, the application they fill out will explain if they are infected or exploited, then their connection will be shut off.
I know, a little extreme, but in this world of zombied machines and server administrator wannabes, it is the best thing to do.
