In many cases (and both of the networks I run), that'll get you firewalled
immediately.  Port scans are not friendly actions...

Proper implementation of SPF or a similar system across all mail domains
would cut spamming by 99% overnight, and would remove almost all of the risk
from phishing mails.  Don't re-invent the wheel - just get the design from
last year to be accepted by more people.
