Blocking port 25 is naive in the extreme. Mail servers should be properly secured instead of blocking port 25. That, surely, is the ISP's responsibility, not some damfool universal block?

All blocking port 25 does is annoy legitimate users who need to log on to their own mail servers and find that port 25 blocking means that they can't. The entire population that works at home a few days a week when their employer has no VPN (etc) to log in through will be affected by this knee jerk measure

If this is the best the industry can suggest then lord help us. Rand is plain wrong over this.

Do realistic and sensible things, certainly. Thinking properly would be a good start
