Why block 25 inbound?

•It is (and has always been) a violation of the TOS
•It helps contain access to open-relays to within OOL netblocks, preventing use from outside OOL.
•Combined with forced use of OOL's mail relays for outbound SMTP helps OOL identify both Spam sources as well as those running SMTP servers as open-relays.
