Re: its about time

No... you're missing the point...
*) I am not a business
*) I have personal web based mail, as does my ISP, my company and groups I do volunteer work for DO NOT !
*) Some of the groups I volunteer for DO NOT have VPNs setup
*) I have a VPN to work - unfortunately it is Windows only - there is a hack to do similiar on Linux, but it is *NOT* supported - and often broken.


A) Get your company to get up to date, with either web based access or VPN based access. If they require you to access remotely, then they should be providing a reasonable/secure access method.

If your answer is for me to become a business - upgrade my phone and DSL (usually both have to be done) to work around poorly planned and implimented filters by ISPs - and lack of decent company support.... then too much of your income comes from the ISP/telco side.
Work with your ISP, they might give you port 25 for no charge. While I agree that there are going still going to be holes in almost any fix, and blocking port 25 is only a bandaid to a much more serious problem.

Good for them ! Do they also allow authenticated sending from outside their network ?

Yes!
