Re: Ugh...

Not the same, and not really any re-programming.

It has now become standard for many ISPs that provide hosting to provide an alternative port for outbound mail. This is because of the port 25 blocks implemented by ISPs.

Blocking ports is not the way to go, for anything. Even the sasser worm, most ISPs blocked certain ports to prevent the spread. The true answer is to patch machines or cut off there service. Sooner or later those same users will be the ones to cause trouble else where. Leave them open and deal with the users. Send warnings and take action.
