What's people's take on just blocking port:25 altogether at this point?

We have 587 for submission and that's what I use exclusively for me.

Using 587 w/AUTH  would grind spammers to a halt in no time for the bigger nets
where they seem to be a problem. (isn't that part odd? the telco's are some
of the worst for sourcing spam.)

The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody
appreciates how difficult it was.
