At this point no, nobody off my network can send mail unless they use the
webmail client,
it was a 2 fold reason.
1) security.. it was more secure not to allow it at all..
2) less hassles with other providers. At this point yes nobody blocks 587
your right, however
they don't support it either, in the sense that if you have trouble they'll
say use they're mail servers (most
isp's anyway), thus it was simpler for my users to just use they're own
isp's mail servers with the replyto's
as they're domain's accounts.
What says a year from now isp's don't start blocking off network 587's
? Then we're all
back into the same boat.
Yes true I could patch my qmail to do it, but at least if something happens
and I'm down
my users can still send mail even though they cannot check it.

don't you support SMTP AUTH on 587?
