Yes, most mail servers primarily use this port, but do you really think spammers won't find a way to get your new port? Seems like a silly solution to me. Port scanning has been around for over a decade and this process has only increased in effectiveness. What they need to do is develop a better way of tracing spam mails to the source. Affected computers on botnets should be recognized and taken offline/patched/cleaned. Why isn't this being done now? People should become more aware of how to protect their computers from being hacked/rooted. Admins in the workplace should be doing their jobs... they should know how security works and they should stop using Microsoft servers... 'nuff said. And you think by changing port #s… this'll help?
