Again, I know this. Though you'd certainly not use port 25 for it, you'd
use 587 (smtp submission). I use it all the time with other domains, never
had a problem.
But again, I know this won't happen. I'm just saying it would drastically
cut spam... (I know blocking that at other domains have dropped spam with
around 60-70% *before* it hits the traditional antispam)
