Shouldn't customers that purchase IP services from an ISP use the ISPs mail 
server as a smart host for outbound mail?  We block outbound port 25 
connections 
on our dialup and DSL pool.

there is no reason why a dialup user should be sending mail 
directly to AOL, or any mail server for that matter (besides their host ISP)

Dial-up, I agree. DSL is a slightly different story. And I'm as much
against Spam as anyone.
