Agreed.  And depending on your service, there are different ports

block something like Netbios.  And blocking port 25 effectively
prevents zombies from spamming.  Unfortunately, it also blocks
legitimate users from being able to use SMTP AUTH on a remote server..

There's a *reason* why RFC2476 specifies port 587....
