Do all of Comcast's markets block port 25? Is there a correlation between
spam volume and the ones that do (or don't)?

In any event the malware is already ahead of port 25 blocking and is
leveraging ISP smarthosting. SMTP-Auth is the pill to ease this pain/
Really smtp-auth will solve it? or do most windows mua's cache your password?

For example, about 2 months ago, comcast decided to block outgoing
port 25 from my entire neighborhood. I called comcast, and while
sitting on hold I had the idea to setup a ssh tunnel to a machine at
work and viola problem solved before anyone from comcast even
answered the phone.
