You get my point. ISPs should not block ports, they should terminate users that break the rules.

Amen to that. Removing legitimate services from all users to keep a few users from "going bad" is a rotten strategy.

Hosting a mail server from a residential account is not a legitimate service that is being provided to you on your residential account. You are getting that service by violating the TOS/AUP. Since you are not paying for that service in the first place, you are out nothing if they block it.

Port 25 is used by BOTH servers AND email clients to send mail to the SMTP server. Such a block would prevent the perfectly legitimate use of using an alternative SMTP server.
