It's a lot more trouble for hosting providers that provide customers
with webhosting and E-mail services.
We've had a lot of customers whose ISP decided it was a good idea to
close down outgoing port 25, resulting in our helpdesk system being
flooded with pissed off customers who suddenly weren't able to send
E-mail through our mailservers anymore.
