Devil's advocate position: No, you can't. You can't connect directly to
any user to send spam directly to their inbox. You *can* connect to
arbitrary mail servers and request that they spam users, but that's
their problem, not Tor's.
I think blocking port 25 is probably the right thing to do as a default,
but I personally have all ports open on my server.
