Subject: [SECURITY] Blocking port 25 outbound



Hello out there,



We are considering blocking all port 25 traffic outbound.  We have noted
various ISP's and others moving to block port 25 outbound to reduce
"spamming".  We wish to be good "netizens"

Have any of you done this already and what has been the push back of issues
related to implementation on your campus?



Regards,
