We were looking at blocking 25 outbound except to designated servers as
well for many of our dialup and broadband customers. Those with the
service get the benefit of not worrying about account suspensions for a
majority of the issues (open proxies, viruses, yada yada). You'd be
surprised how many customers really don't want to have their system
suspended and don't care if they have 30 viruses.
