My company offers domain-hosting. All domains get their smtp.mydomain.tld and pop.mydomain.tld to use. If ISPs would block port 25 it would effectively mean that customers of those ISP cannot use our smtprelays anymore.

That would be a ridiculous situation.

Many customers try to send their legitimate mail via direct SMTP, are confronted with many servers blocking dial-up IP-addresses and ask what to do. Our advice: use our smtp-relay, it is part of your contract with us. Customer = happy.

Now if customer must use smtp-relay from ISP it will mean that we must add all of those to our SPF entry. Ridiculous.

An ISP blocking port 25 is giving me a censored TCP/IP connection. If SPF is supposed to fly, blocking of Port 25 will be a severe disadvantage IMHO.
