Re: Gonna need to do more..
said by mrchris  :If you want less spam getting to your customers, such as going after the actual spammers themselves! How about better implementing spam filters? Or providing customers with better spam filtering through webmail, as well as POP3/SMTP clients?
Although it has some positive effect, blocking port 25 across the board does little to reduce actual "spam", since the spammers just move on to target IPs owned by ISPs that don't have port 25 blocks. Essentially, blocking port 25 gives the ISP a little bit of a PR-boost, but does nothing to actually decrease the amount of spam that their customers see in their inboxes.
