I totally agree. That's why our relays allow every port except 25. But,
in the event that DMCA complaints scare away the ISP (or the exit
operator), they should go for the reduced exit policy (and look for a
better ISP), instead of randomly dropping packets or otherwise filtering
traffic, which is just mean (and probably illegal).
