I wrote some part of that doc (though the part about filtering you
quoted seems to have been written by a colleague) - you'll find docs
all over the 'net, that have a lot more detail.
Finding out how many ISPs are doing this is a rather different thing
from finding out how many docs out there are recommending it.
Especially as I'm seeing a marked uptick in this sort of behavior,
from ISPs that I thought normally do filter port 25.
As John points out earlier there were cases of specific people doing
this, though now I think we're seeing trojans do it - a rather more
dangerous development.
